just wondering if i should use a gasket between the turbo/manifold, and also between the turbine housing and downpipe??

how many do, how many dont??

 

I don't and have had no problems.

Same here

 

i have a gasket between my maxrev mani and the turbine but nothing between downpipe and turbine

 

well, i think mine is leaking between the mani and turbo a little bit, bit i have heard about epople getting leaks a lot more when using a gasket, so i was maybe just going to have them both leveled off at a machine shop to make sure thye are even, so it would seal properly..... cuz i have a .48 exh housing on my merkur turbo on my integra ls, and it doesnt spool fully until about 5k rpms or so...

 

i only have a firering gasket between the wastegate and manifold and I really don't even need that one.

we don't need no stinking gaskets

 

If you have both peices surfaced and use a little copper spray it would be an ideal setup IMO. Try to use through bolts too, or at least studs.

 

OUCH. .48 housing on my t3 d16z6 civic has full 10psi by like 3900/4000
