you definitely can. but if you wish to squeeze more boost, then get MTM or 034 compression lowering gasket.

Depending what boost you want to run with what turbos. MRC also offer compression lowering gaskets.

WTF - do you really think i have a laser cutting machine or other tools here to physically make gaskets, turbos, or other bits etc?

I don't buy 1 point dropping headgaskets from other companies.....

The headgasket from 034 will drop compression 0,7 points.. I think that is to mouch, if I dont want to run max boost.... Or am I wrong?
