yeah actually there is a gasket that goes between the turbo and the manifold. There's no gasket between the turbo and the DP though.

I've actually heard that for connections where both materials are the same heat (manifold to turbo / turbo to dp), your better off w/o a gasket and just using two perfectly flat surfaces.
But I'm not sure what the DRAG kit is supposed to have.

fmax doesn't either. They recommend the copper high temp gasket material between all such mating surfaces.

It is not 100% necessary, but I wanted to make sure I had no exhaust leaks.

I still think the turbo/manifold gets too hot for that stuff. You need a metal gasket.

just go to your nearest parts store and get a turbo gasket for a 86 ford thunderbird. Works like a charm and is CHEAP!!!
