full-race downpipe
I just bought a used full-race stage 3gt kit and was wondering do any of you guys use a gasket between the turbo and downpipe if so what material did you use?
thanks Andre

Re: full-race downpipe (komat)
When the surfaces are truly flat, U do not need a gasket.
Most people who put a turbo kit together do not use a gasket.
Most of the OEM turbo setups use gaskets cause they use a lot of cast parts that possibly might not be truly flat, so the gasket makes up for the imperfections.
