wastegate to manifold gasket?

Post by type85 »

Am I "on the pipe"?
Why can't I find a part number for the wastegate to manifold gasket? Did it ever exist?
I have the copper spray gasket, so I can use that...
Also, I was told NOT to use a gasket between the turbo (GT2871) and the (T3) manifold .....

What about the outlet of the turbo to downpipe gasket (5 bolt T25)?

Two flat surfaces is all that is needed for a good seal. Flat being the key word. Really flat. I don't use gaskets on any hotside stuff.
