aluminum is not a good metrial for a turbo any ways , its got a lower melting point than the egt's will be on a turbo


gasket looks like a wall hanger now though


lol

I know with my internal wastegate, its like a rotating cuff that seals against a flared/angled edge of the downpipe.

No. I have a 5 bolt flange that bolts directly to the turbo (flat surface), no gasket.

I need a gasket like that for my turbo... I have an internal wastegate also so its just a three bolt... there was no gasket on it and it was leaking there so I'd assume a gasket should be there.... where can you order copper ones?

I have a 3" V-banded downpipe. No gasket as well.

Aluminum melts at 1218* .... Not good to use on turbo applications. Jegs has good copper gaskets or you can go to. http://www.roadraceengineering.com/hackertweekerparts.htm
