turbo requires gasket?

[Pl3wA]

do i need a gasket between these two?
the kit didnt come with it so idk...



downpipe------turbo

[euro2fast4u]

the turbo housing has a lip where a pipe would insert and that would cause your seal, i dont see the part you may have to make one or purchase one

is your internal wg welded shut?

They sell them on eBay for $6 I believe. It wouldn't hurt
I had one on mine.

[Hey_You]

You only need a gasket it you don't want it to leak exhaust fumes

use "right stuff" gasket

I see what you mean, aha. maybe ill do that as well.
the waste gate is a little further down the pipe

i guess i dont need it then :P

use "right stuff" gasket

wouldn't that melt?



i think im just going to have to order one off ebay. thought there would be a quicker alternative... o poo

You don't need to weld the wastegate shut. The flange blocks it off.

the wastegate is not in this equation at all. its not internal. its just chillin somewhere on the manifold.

thanks for the help tho! All I need now is a MEgasquirt and some injectors and a tune and some wiring+installation and im done!!!!!1 WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

no it wont melt, its made for this type of purpose, i just used it on a turbo back diesel exhaust, same application.

in that case, im doing this, instead of waiting for a gasket. cool
