My kit didn't come with a manifold to turbo gasket, or a turbo to downpipe gasket...also, no exhuast manifold gasket.

What should I use for the manifold...an OEM gasket? And what about the turbo gaskets? What to use there?

Thanks,
Levi

 

I used my oem exhaust manifold gasket. As far as the gaskets for turbo to manifold and downpipe to turbo, drag does not have any for them.

 

for turbo to manifold, buy a T3 gasket from ford, audi dealership or try turbonetics.com or majestic turbo.

no gasket needed between downpipe and turbo

exhaust manifold gasket use honda OEM

 

Red RTV high temp gasket maker will work in a pinch. Dunno how long it will hold up, but i'm running it on mine and hoping that I don't have to F' with it

 

Thanks for the replys!

 

i have no gasket between either the manifold and turbo or the turbo and DP. It sure doesnt seem to leak.

 

true, the carbon should seals all the cracks and leaks...
as long as you have a flat and clean surfaces, gasket are not really needed...

I never ran a gasket between mani and turbo, never had a leak either.

I tried to run a gasket between the mani and wastegate, but melted that one. So ever since I just went raw. No leaks to speak of.

i just reused my manifold gasket and used no gasket anywhere else other then the one for the wastgate and i dont have any problems with it yet

 

Good to hear all this!

 

When I installed both my friends Fmax and Drag kits they didnt include the gaskets for the turbo-to-manifold or the turbo-to-downpipe. Now I realize the the turbo-to-downpipe gaskets are not needed, but I am the type of person that likes like use gaskets everywhere I can. We bought all the gaskets that we needed at http://www.roadraceengineering.com. BTW, high temp RTV does leak after awhile. We used some on my friends Drag install and we had a exhaust leak about a month later...just sucks to unbolt everything to install a gasket.
