Default should be an easy question, downpipe/mainifold gaskets?

Basically i wanna start bolting my parts together but would like to know what way to put the gaskets. With the bumps facing the turbos hot side or facing the down pipe. Nothing really came with instructions or tips. Does it matter?

Also samething with the T3 gasket, bumps facing up towards the turbo manifold or down facing the turbo.

Thanks

doesn't matter
i would say flat side toward the turbine housing since that always seems to be flat *at least it should*

Leave them off?..the turbine esp.,..it'll prolly burn out and cause leak anyway,
