Default anybody with a waterjet want to cut some vband flange gaskets?

I have a small exhaust leak in my new turbo setup.
I THINK its coming from the vband flanges.

does anyone sell gaskets for them? i need one for the tial housing inlet on a gt30 and the outlet.

i was thinking some soft copper would work.

does anyone want to make some for me???

Do you have the v-bands with a reciever groove for an o-ring? Prooblem with v-band is that if you make the flange surface distance further apart with a gasket you actually take away some of it's clamping force.

second this. you don't want a gasket in a v-band. they're not designed for them.

You can also use a little high temp silicone to bandaid the problem.
