Default ?'s about downpipe bolts/gasket

I already searched, didnt help me. I have a T3/To4E. I was sondering what do I use to connect the downpipe to the turbo with? Just any old bolts that fit witha nut on the end? Or is there something special for it that I am just to stupid to know about? Also, where can I get a gasket to go inbetween the downpipe and turbo? I hear lots of people say not to even bother with one, but I would like one. Anyone know where I can get one? Or can I have one made? Thanks alot guys.
on me for bein a noobi

They say not to bother with them for a reason.

Any bolt that fits is good enough, just make sure it's long enough. Also http://www.roadraceengineering.com/f...andgaskets.htm sells t3 dp gaskets.

I couldn't fond a downpipe gasket on there. I think you were looking at there throttlebody gasket, looks very similar to the flange on the DP though. Thanks anyways.

You must have a 4-bolt turbo then, the bottom of the page has 5 bolt dp gaskets that I was refering to.

I've never ran a turbo to manifold gasket or turbo to dp gasket, never had any problems of leak either. Just make sure the surfaces are machined flat and you'll be ok.
