No need for anything other than a standard gasket for 290bhp but make sure you get the correct thickness

As above but if its a Version 1~4 WRX dont fit the original Carbon Composite gaskets - upgrade to the MLS (multi layer steel) OEM gaskets.

I would just get cosworth gaskets as the price is almost the same.
