So the gasket kit I got from PNP for my ca18det worked out well for me, except that the o2 metal gasket I recieved, doesnt want to make it over the studs on the hotside of the turbocharger.

Are there 2 different part numbers for this application?

I have some ebay cheapy composite garbage gasket in there now, Im sure it wont last more than a month.

When it starts leaking, Id like to have the right gasket on hand to alleviate problems.

pretty sure theyre the same. i was running a t28BB on my ca18, but i was still using the stock ca18 o2 housing on it, also the gasket i got was for ca18det, and it fit no problem.

I used the SR gasket, HOWEVER I had to open up 1 hole a little bigger, aparently the CA and SR turbos are like off by 1mm on 1 stud.

Yea thats what I was trying to do, open one hole up a bit, but it wasnt working in my favor.

wonder how long the cheapy composite will go for?

thanks

what are good gaskets to use? I've got a metal ebay one on mine too and I think there may be leakage

a good gasket is the nissan one.....its not even a gasket so to speak, more like a compressable piece of metal.
