No, they do not come with kits but I made my own gaskets and they look really good. The best way to make them if you need to is to:

1)get some gasket material from any autoparts store(I found some at Autozone)
2)get alum. foil and spray some light adhesive on one side.
3)place the adhesive side of the foil on the turbine inlet and outlet holes(for dp and manifold)
4) carefully trace your finger over the edges and the holes where you have an outline of all the little holes and edges.
5)now carefully take the foil off and place the adhesive side on the sheet of gasket material.
6) take an artists knife or razor sharp knife and run the blade along the traced edges and holes.
7)all holes and edges should be visible, so use a Dremel and carefully cut off edges and holes in gasket material.

If you drive around and notice it pausing or hear it leaking then you might want to get a gasket. Most likely you wont need it.
