It's probably the spark plugs, the non-copper core don't like the boost pressure and excess heat that it produces and fail early.
A fuel filter from FCPGroton is really cheap, under $20, and you can order a new oil filter and crush washer to save on shipping. Check out the Champion copper plugs at your local autoparts store, should be less than $2 each. Just gap them to .028

What kills a head gasket is over boost, if your turbo blow off valve is not working properly. The guys at Volvospeed.com know all about BOVs. Do a search.
