Default HEADGASKET?

I changed my fuel plate today and it raised my boost a little and now my headgasket is leaking on the passenger side but my boost never got over 30psi so do u think it was the boost or just a bad headgasket and if I retorque the headbolts will it help?

replace headgasket and re torque headbolts to spec + 50 extra torque i believe is what you are supposed to do when re using stock headbolts. try and keep the bolts matched to which spot you originally removed them from.
