I'm having a hard time finding a ford 5 bolt exhaust gasket, and I'm wondering if it's really necessary, but I'd rather run one just incase. If someone could point me to an online store/ebay that has a 5 bolt turbo exhaust gasket, and if you guys are running a gasket. If you don't run a gasket, do you have an exhaust leak? I just spent the last 40mins searching and nothing, I'm frustrated and could use to help. thanks

 

Anybody?????????

So your saying if I spray a couple layers of copper onto the 5 bolt flange, then it will not leak? I was also thinking of using a donut gasket for the main 2.5 in DP opening, but the DP is 3". I was thinking of sandwiching a 3" donut between the flange and turbo, but thanks.

 

Dont use one. I personally didnt and had no problems at all.

 

most ppl don't run one. i did before. i bought this sheet of gasket material, it was 15"x36". more than enough to make like 50 gaskets probably. hahaha. it was from napa, just tell them you want the material that goes between the turbo and downpipe. they can look it up.

 

I don't use any gasket on my 4 bolt. Doesn't leak at all.

 

i have v-band on my turbo
no such thing as a v-band gasket

 

Thanks for the reasurance
