Default t3 inlet gasket

car is in hibernation, i go to start it up today and notice smoke coming out my inlet gasket in back, it's pretty black back there so the leak has been building up over time. i've always used the one layer stainless crush gasket and somehow leak ends up somewhere, of corse i replace them everytime i take the turbo apart, but i was wondering if the thicker gaskets work better. how about the paperlike material that's used on wastegate?

I've never had an issue with the stamped metal gaskets. Are you sure your flange is true?
