Gasket or no gasket for atr header to turbo ex housing flange?

[sy445]

I used a gasket for my exhaust housing to header flange and a bolt loosened up and created a leak. I tightened the bolt and apparently the leak burned the gasket out leaving me with an exhaust leak.

What is everyone using for a gasket? or no gasket? silicone?
Does anyone know what atr recommended?

I know the surface on the header side is flat because i used a file to get it perfect before assembly. the turbo is new.

any help greatly appreciated

I use high temp red silicone on all exhaust surfaces.
