Or can some parts go metal to metal.
Manifold--->turbine
turbine--->down pipe. and other little things you can think of.

only gakset you should need would be a wastegate gasket, get the turbonetics one with the metal fire ring or else you'll be replacing them every few weeks like I was.

they are $10 jotech should have em.

sweet man, what all do you have left to get and when are you putting all of it in?

btw I got some new toys as well.

No more overheating for my engine or me (new condenser since my dumptube put a hole in the old one, A/C here I come.)

I like. I have nothing to go. just ready to install.

I crushed about 2-3 wastegate gaskets, then i decided to just not run one, no leaks at all. Good to hear youre finally done, My install is next weekend, so tally up two more Turbo hondas to the Texas list

I went through 2 Tial gaskets before I stuck some copper sealant gasket. I also used in on my downpipe. Works well.

ahobbs

So sealent looks like the best thing not gaskets.

well the tial gaskets are crap, all you do is burn them up and that cause an exhuast leak.

The metal ring gaskets are where the money is, doesn't allow the gasket to be burned up, think about it this way...what are headgaskets made from? same stuff.

metal to metal only works well if both surfaces are perfectly flat and just hope it doesn't warp or anything like that.

Ill stick with my gasket, I blew 2 tial gaskets in 2 weeks then got the turbonetics one and haven't had a problem in 6 + months of races and spirited driving.
