Default overbore headgasket

I have a 98 neon SOHC and blew the head gasket cuz i recently installed a turbo. My engine is bored 20 over and I'm having trouble finding an oversized headgasket for the SOHC. Is it alright just to go with the stock size? I've also heard that you can change a DOHC headgasket to a SOHC by drilling some oil holes. Any ideas?

First off dont just say SOHC Neon, give the Litre & year also. Second If you are looking for a oversized head gasket you will have to try Import books performance mags n books. My Fel-pro book only shows the stock replacement. Which shouldnt be used with a turbo setup. So see if you can find a gasket book from a Autoparts store that has these types if not you might have to try Summit racing or Jegs or some place I have never heard of, I dont deal with 4 cylinder performance much at all.
