Default Should I get 1 of these? What do you use?

I've seen/ heard of some people using some type of liquid gasket to make a seal btw the turbo and down pipe but I found this http://www.034motorsport.com/product...ducts_id=19159 I do have a gt30 with a 3in dp. Is t here some other alternative? I'm not trying to be cheap I just want to do it right the 1st time thanks

If the turbine housing outlet and downpipe flanges are both quality components, meaning they've been resurfaced after manufacturing, you should have no issue running it without a gasket.

Jeez, now that I'm thinking about it I think the last time I put a gasket in between a housing and a downpipe was like 3-4 years ago lol

be sure you get the right onw

that one only fits the gt 3 inch outlet version with the volute not the std 2.5 outlet t3t4 4-bolt ( regardless if you have a 3 inch downpipe, its talking bout the outlet hole not how big your downpipe is)

and we have those gaskets in stock. let us know if you're interested

I was told to use cv axle grease.
It will heat up and seal.
