My first thread was deleted due to reasons unmentionable... so here it is again.

Does anyone have suggestions for gaskets? I need the turbo to manifold gasket mainly, and everything I put in burns up and blows out. What is everyone else using? SR or KA... I just need a damn gasket.

I think I answered this on FA, but go to a reputable turbo shop and ask for a T3 Turbine inlet gasket. They should have the part for you. If you can't find a local turbo shop, call up turbonetics.

Heh. Yea, you did. It's cool tho, I called around, and got some metal gasket for the inlet. Now for the outlet...

couldn't you buy a copper sheet and punch out the gasket shape yourself?

Generally, the outlet is a gasketless joint. If there is no gasket, it can't blow out. Get the back of the turbine housing machined flat and machine the downpipe flange and bolt them together. If it doesn't leak right away, it never will.
