Default Custom turbo kit?

I have all the piping for my intercooler, but now i need the upper charge pipe. What did you do for your upper charge pipe? I am thinking about using my AEM CAI piping. Any other good suggestions?

Where can i get gaskets for my manifold to turbo and turbo to DP connections?

Thanks H-T for your help!

You can use any pipe you want that fits. Also how are we suppose to tell you where to get your gaskets if you didn't tell us what turbo you have or manifold. We aren't mind readers.

if you use your aem cai, you need to cover it up or weld up that small hole on the pipe

To be honest I went to the local exhaust shop and picked up some mandrel bent tubing and then mocked up what I needed and clamped it from there.

As for your gaskets, you can make your own if you're so inclined. Gasket material = cheap.

the only problem with making your own gaskets is that they can blow out... if you dont torque all the bolts around the gasket perfectly it will fail after about a month... - happened to me with my turbo to my downpipe gasket... had to buy a metal one
