Nobody I know runs a gasket there, including me. Red Permatex gets the job done on my Ford 5-bolt turbine outlet. There's no pressure there, so a gasket isn't needed, just a bit of sealant to keep it from leaking.

agreed - I actually don't even use RTV. If your flange surfaces are flat they will not leak. Take the gasket out and bolt 'er up!

Yeah I've had bad luck with the DP bolts backing out when using a gasket. Just bolt it directly to the turbine housing. If it is leaking that much, your DP flange is warped etc.... resurface it (I've done this before with a belt sander, wear gloves!).
