Turbo outlet gasket

[mys13240]

I was wondering if any of you guys know where i can get the gasket that goes between the turbine and the flange on the outlet pipe. i have a t3/t4 with the 5-bolt pattern.

I didnt use one, I just bought a tube of Permatex copper gasket maker from Advance Auto parts. pretty much all parts stores sell them.

If you have a hardon for a gasket there look on http://www.cheapturbo.com you should find one for a T3 there (T3 is the exhaust side you'll need it for)

[edit] crap, they dont have a gasket there, they just have the flange. oh well, seriously I dont feel you need one, just use the permatex copper gasket maker and some lock-washers/loctite on your bolts. [/edit]

i just wanted to get one because my friend is running the same type of turbo without a gasket and it leaks a little.

strange, I'm not (have a t3/t4 also) just make sure you are generous with the gasket maker then retorque the bolts down after you've driven for a little bit. I torqued them to 40-50lbs.

Even copper gasket maker is only good to 650 or 800*. Not near hot enough.The only gasket I know of it from http://www.roadraceengineering.com . It's solid aluminum - 1/16" thick, no embossing anywhere, so it's not ideal, but probably better than nothing if your flanges aren't aligned.However, a proper turbo to downpipe flange shouldn't leak.-Jeff
