Default Homemade turbo gaskets???

Hey guys I was hoping someone could help me out in making some turbo gaskets since I can't find one to buy.I was just curious as to what type of material I should use? Can sheet metal withstand the massive heat? The search server is down for some reason so if this was posted before, sorry! Thanks.

go to a local HVAC shop that works on boilers and steam generators. They have sheets of gasket material. For a few bucks they might give you some.

<---IslandSi who does HVAC work and has TONS of gasket material.

I'm in Portugal. Plus my gasket material is owned by the Air Force.
