5 Bolt WG gasket - Do they exist?

Post by **Edub1** » Sun Jan 28, 2007 7:41 am

Am I to understand that no gasket is used to mate a 5 bolt WG flapper to a turbo?

That is correct.

There is a thin steel gasket out there, I use them when they come with the turbo but not needed.

Thanks guys. I kind of figured they weren't needed but wasn't sure.

I use muffler cement but you can buy a gasket from forcedperformance.com whenever he gets around to making a batch..

I've never used a gasket on the 5-bolt surface. No leaks yet.

Permatex Copper Head Gasket Sealer FTW!

Does that handle the heat?

Ultra Copper is only rated for about 700F. I wouldnt trust it with 1300F exhaust temps.

On the can it says that it can be used for turbochargers.
