I'm using stockers on my 2165T. Cro-moly doesn't flex enough. My builder runs stockers on his 1776T buggy with 25 PSI. Not a problem yet. Sometimes you're just paying for hype. 8.0:1 might be a little high for a turbo(on a T1 anyway). You'll want to be around 7 or 7.5:1. 8.0:1, you risk higher head temps. So the only reason you might want to use a copper gasket is to lower your compression.
