Default Gasket material?

Can i use that gasket material they sell at auto parts stores to make my own gaskets for my turbo kit? Just wondering if the material can take high temps.

There is only the gasket for the turbo to manifold, and for the wastegate to manifold right? And you dont want that rubber **** on the manifold, it will burn!!!!

luckily where i worked this summer i stole some grapholock from the stock room, its used on all the boilers and turbines that go up to 2200degrees... i figured this would be suitable for my custom 3" exhaust...

yeah i kinda figured the rubber ones would burn. I was thinking of the paperish type gaskets. I don't know what material it is. I'll check again to see if the Drag kit came with a gasket for the turbo and mani. What about the dp and turbo? Do those pieces need a gasket between them?
