Default Gasket between the turbo manifold and turbo?

does anyone know what kind of gasket if there is any, that i can use to put between the turbo manifold and turbo? Is it possible for me to cut one out of a copper gasket sheet? recommendations are welcomed! links?

Try the force induction forum net time.

But I recommend not putting one at all. Works great.

After going through one after another, its not worth it. -=P Leave it bare.

I think the best thing to do would be to go to a local parts store, and get a turbo gasket set for any vehicle with the turbo you're running. I worked for Advance Auto, and I have done that before, gotten a turbo gasket set(turbo flange gaskets) for a T3 by looking up the set for a mid 80's ford 2.3 motor. Does that make sense? Hope I helped out. That is considering you aren't wanting a lot of down time waiting for shipping.

i wouldnt run any gasket. this is how ive run all my setups. as long as you have a good manifold you wont have any problems. gaskets tend to blow out from all the heat

you could use copprer gasket sheet....i have ran it w/o one in the past with no problems, just make sure the flanges aren't warped.

Also, i have a metal gasket in there now, and it was a crush style gasket, meaning there is a lip that gets crushed the first time you tighten it.
