I used a metal gasket for the manifold to turbo connection (apt turbo has them) and no gasket on the downpipe and they sealed fine

I didn't use any gaskets on my setup. As long as the surfaces are flat they will seal fine. From my first turbo setup(that used gaskets) I found them to just be a PITA, and just another thing to go wrong.
I do remember the Manifold-Wastegate gasket being the worse
