Is there suppose to be gaskets between the exhaust manifold and the wastgate, and the manifold and the turbo? If so what kind are you guys using and where can I get them.

I also have a second question. What kind of nuts and bolts are you guys using to connect the exhaust manifold to the engine head and the turbo to the manifold?

 

you don't need gaskets. it also depends on your wastegate design if it has an oring then its unlikely to leak. for bolts i prefer 12.5 grade.. arp for cylinder head.. the rest can be purchased from online bolt stores.. so everything from cylinder head to turbo to wastegate to downpipe dumptube connection is 12.5 grade plus some tackwelds on trouble spots for ***** and giggles.

 

Ok thats good to hear. I have all my turbo parts and my head in my room right now, I wanted to make sure I didn't need gaskets before putting it all together. Thanks man.
