WRONG.it doesnt matter what kind of turbo it is but what size footprint and style.if you need a gasket for the turbo to manifold its a t3 gasket so any EARLY z31 gasket will work, any EARLY saab 900 turbo will work (before 90) or just any t3 turbo gasket.

as for the turbine to manifold gasket, just any standard T3 gasket will be fine. you will be fine to reuse the old one, because it's a metal gasket.

might have come across a bit rough but no attitude intended, i just dislike misinformation.....as for reusing the gasket, you may beable to reuse it but some you cant.its also a good idea to change it because a few weeks down the road it could possibly blow out (i saw one that was completely destroyed some how) and you are back where you are right now.iirc the gasket is fairly inexpensive from nissan like 7$ perahps.

I used a gasket for a 86 z31. Its a really heavy duty gasket. I tried a stainless crush gasket from a shop and blew it out in like two days. For the turbo outlet to elbow I had some copper ones made.
