Turbo gaskets

Can anyone tell me where I can order the manifold inlet and turbo outlet gasket from?

If you can avoid it at all I would not run a gasket in those places. I never had one last more than a month and they will warp your cast iron. We didn't have gaskets there from the factory:2cents:

Re: Turbo gaskets

If no gaskets, then I'm wondering how I can silence the spurts of exhaust leak I heard after I put my turbo back in. It didn't have gaskets when I took it out, I'll give you that. But if it's an exhaust leak, then to me it's a loss of power since it's escaping.

Gotta get it surfaced if possible.

My theory is that when you have them how could you be 100% (EVEN BY TORQUING) that you aren't flexing the metal? All I can say is that the first I rebuilt my engine I thought something was wrong since there weren't any, I installed them and had nothing but trouble. Next rebuild, manifolds were warped as shit. Had them re surfaced and stopped using the gasket and never had one warp again.

Use High Temp (red) ATV and no gaskets. Surface for flatness if needed.
