Re: question on using gaskets...........? (SMOOTH97LUDE)
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.
