Default ?'s about downpipe bolts/gasket

I already searched, didnt help me. I have a T3/To4E. I was sondering what do I use to connect the downpipe to the turbo with? Just any old bolts that fit witha nut on the end? Or is there something special for it that I am just to stupid to know about? Also, where can I get a gasket to go inbetween the downpipe and turbo? I hear lots of people say not to even bother with one, but I would like one. Anyone know where I can get one? Or can I have one made? Thanks alot guys.
on me for bein a noobi

They say not to bother with them for a reason.

Any bolt that fits is good enough, just make sure it's long enough. Also http://www.roadraceengineering.com/f...andgaskets.htm sells t3 dp gaskets.

I couldn't fond a downpipe gasket on there. I think you were looking at there throttlebody gasket, looks very similar to the flange on the DP though. Thanks anyways.

You must have a 4-bolt turbo then, the bottom of the page has 5 bolt dp gaskets that I was refering to.

I've never ran a turbo to manifold gasket or turbo to dp gasket, never had any problems of leak either. Just make sure the surfaces are machined flat and you'll be ok.

Dose anyone know where I could get a gasket? I would rateher just use one in the begining and not have to worry about it leaking. Its the 4 bolt. I need the gasket that goes in between the turbo and down pipe. Thanks again guys.
