downpipe....gasket or no???

Should I put a gasket between the downpipe flange and the turbo or not? On my last setup I had leaks all around this area. Any suggestions??

if both mating surfaces are machined pretty well and straight, you shouldn't need gaskets or sprays

Never had a leak and no problems. The carbon build up will seal it up nicely too
