if you dont have a v band, it ie beneficial to run one on the gate to manifold at the very least. if it dies leak there you will be down on boost, or it will lag more than it needs to.

you dont need one on the dump, but if there is anything in the way, it may get a little jet of hot air.

make sure it is clear all the way around.

ok thanks , I was under the impression I would be better off running no gasket on the wastegate to manifold? I have had bad luck in the past blowing gaskets, I am using a tial 38. . ?
