the reason you dont need most of the times is that both parts are machined very straight and true. If there were any gaps then tthats when you need to use the gasket most of the time everything is machined true

Re: Inline Pro mani + SC61 (b18bturbo)
My manifold is coated, so I use a gasket. Not sure if it would seal w/o it, but for $5, who cares? Just go to the Ford dealer and tell em you need a turbo gasket for a Thunderbird.

Exactly... you shouldnt need a gasket because both the turbo manifold and tubine flange should be machined nearly perfect. This remains the same for the wastegate flange as well. However if you do have a leak, a gasket may be neccessary to make the leak stop.
I ran a gasket betweent the wastegate and manifold and had to remove it because it burned up and created a leak.
