I personally would get one, just to be on the safe side. Every factory turbo car that I know of has one there, so there is no exhaust leak. Better to be safe than sorry. Later!

Heck as cheap as they are why not. Only cost about 4 bucks from autozone or o'rilleys. 89 thunderbird. So yeah.. I got one!

be careful with that stuff because it usually won't hold up for very long.I tried using that stuff when i sealed off the external wastegate flange and it started to leak after a while.The stuff i used was ultra copper high temp gasket maker that is good for up to 700 degree's i think.

Damn where did you find that stuff? i looked for months and the highest temp i could find was 750 degrees and that wasn't rated for a constant 750 degrees like the manifold would exceed for extended periods.So i had to settle for the 600 degree or so.What is the brand name so maybe i can pick some up (or order it).

I have one..
Unless the manifold and turbo housings are freshly planed you prolly will get a small leak without one.
They make the gaskets for a reason.....
