Dave1647545494 Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 napa listed about 50 gaskets when I did a search under turbocharger mounting gasket maybe take the turbo with you and see if they can match something up at the warehouse store on 161 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farkas Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 I think you have the right idea with diesel shops.. they probably deal with those gaskets quite a bit on diesel trucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattsv8 Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 why do you need a gasket?? i use silicone works perfect never had a leak yet. i also do use header gasket silicone there too!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bruh Posted July 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 i used high temp rtv before and it didnt work worth a fuck. so im going to keep with the gasket since i never had an issue that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does jegs carry gasket sheets to make your own gaskets? I've heard of people using Cereal boxes coated in the copper gasket spray + Tin Foil too. I wouldn't recommend it for anything but a quick temporary fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh8sti Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 make one dude. Go to advanced auto and get gasket maker, cut out the desired pattern and whaalaa. They also might have something that would work, youd be surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Removed Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 use ulta copper rtv.. i use it on turbo header sealing and most guys on turbo forum swear by it aswell the trick is to get a nice film of it on the flange, let it set for 10-15, then set it on, and i lightly tighten the bolt by hand..i normally let it set over night, then tighten it up. works like a charm every time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tristanlee85 Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 That or go to Home Depot Racing, get a really thin sheet of steel or aluminum, cut it out with a holesaw, and some drills bits for your bolt holes. Or if you are certain your surfaces are flat, no gasket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
