Really if your components are new (with nicely machined level surfaces) you do not need gaskets in those positions. I personally spray a good coat of copper gasket spray on each surface, give it a moment to become tacky, and assemble.

No problems thus far.

maybe try atpturbo.com

for turbo to downpipe, you can buy this gasket material from napa for pretty cheap. it's like a big sheet (12x24) for like 15 or 25 bucks. but you'll come to find that most ppl don't use a gasket between turbo and downpipe.

sorry was out of town, well my friend tried making his own gaskets out of gasket material and it didn't work to well, and my manifold and turbo are used. so I would prefer gaskets, I was looking for like a copper gasket I had for my 16g setup.

grab an inlet gasket from somewhere like atpturbo. downpipe gasket is not needed. inlet gasket may not really be needed either but i dont think you should risk an exhaust leak prior to the turbo. it will hurt spool time and overall performance.

if you really want a downpipe gasket you can get one here http://www.roadraceengineering...s.htm scroll all the way to the bottom. inlet gasket $8, dp gasket $15.
