Ok, I *may* have found a gasket that works for me, sorta. For those who don't know, the gasket on my turbo between the manifold and turbo inlet has blown away. The turbo in question is a GReddy/Mitsubishi TD04H-15G. Now it's come to my knowledge that this small and somewhat rare turbo shares it's inlet design (and obviosuly gasket) with the Garett T-25 turbo. Now what I need to know is what car in what year carried these T-25's? I belive the 1G 300ZX may have used the T25's, also the Mitsubishi Starion, but I'm not sure. Does anybody here know or know of somebody who might know these cars well? Any help would be greatly apprieciated guys cause GReddy and Mitsubishi aren't helping me and I've already tried the custom route, didn't work, now I'm getting desperate. Thanks fellas...

Hmm.. anybody know anything of the older DSM or 300's?

Eclipse or Talon do. Just go to a Chrysler dealer, this is where I got mine.

Only the 2nd Gen (89-94) DSM's have T-25 turbos. Just go to a Mitsubishi dealer and order the gasket. Later!

89-94's? Weren't these the 1G DSM's? And if I remember correctly, the 1G DSM's actually used biger turbo's than the 2G's. When I went to Mitsu for the gasket the one I got was for a 2G and it was pleanty bigger than the one my turbo has, so if the 1G were actually bigger, well then I'd assume the gasket would be either the same size or bigger also. Any DSM experts verify this??

TD04-15C is much smaller than T-25. THe gasket shouldnt work.
The 2G eclipse(95+) use a T25. The older 1g should have a similar turbo
which is a TD05-14B. I believe the 300ZX twin turbo might use TD04s.

Thank you sgT, I think i'm gonna do 2 things. #1 go to a local Chrysler/Plymouth dealer and look for a Laser/Talon Turbo gasket for the TD05 just to see (although I'm pretty sure the TD05 gasket is much bigger than the TD04 and head over to Nissan to see of the older 300ZX turbo used the TD04 or if it was the latter TT models. As for the T25/TD04 compatibility, I've had like 2 or 3 people tell me the same thing about them, that their nearly identical so I guess I'l find out one way or the other!
