Re: Gaskets??
GM offered a manifold/head crush type gasket to help seal some v-8 heads.
Since the ports are almost the same we can use those.
Turbotime.us offers them.
The Turbo to DP is a std 3 bolt exhaust configuration. 2.5" I believe.
The oil drain gasket on the bottom of the turbo can be found at hahnracecraft.com

Re: Gaskets??
alright thanks for those tips, guess it won't be so bad after all! Just kinda surprising they didn't use anything from the factory, thats just weird

Re: Gaskets??
I do actually use Anti-Seize on all my gaskets. It fills in the little imperfections and makes the best seal possible, and it also allows the gasket to come back out in 1 piece, so you can reuse it if you happen to need to take everything apart 2 days later, or save on cleanup time if it needs to come apart 5 years from now :tup:

Re: Gaskets??
I just bought a pair of copper gaskets like mentioned above for GM v8's, perfect fit...I got the turbo cleaned up and the wastegate ported and they included a gasket to mate it to the manifolds....so I guess all thats left now is get an intercooler, FMU, SS oil lines, and get all on there and tuned with a custom downpipe.... :rotf: if only it were as simple as it sounds on screen

Re: Gaskets??
Do these copper gaskets work then?
What about the turbo downpipe - is there an effective solution there?
