Dont use a gasket at all?

Since the turbo is flat cast and assuming the manifold flange isnt warp? Other then that, dont use one.

After numerous gasket blowing and leaking. I just decided to take them all out, and viola 5psi boost 3ooo rpm on a t3.t4..

you dont need a gasket the carbon build up from the tubo will seal the gaps. The only con to this is if your flang is warp you wont get a good seal, infact you will see boost leak.
