Does anyone know where I can get the exhaust manifold gasket and the base gasket between the exhaust manifold and the turbo.

This has honestly been the story of my swap.  Blown exhaust gaskets.  I know why the gasket between the turbo and the manifold went bad (due to a busted stud that led to a leak).
But why is it that I am having soooo much trouble w/ the gaskets.  Did my engine sit too long w/o being used or am I running the car incorrectly.  

I need help because this is my daily driver and I can't find the gaskets anywhere

HKS won't answer
Heavythrottle is closed 'til Tuesday
All the local places in VA don't deal w/ turbos.

Also does anyone know another car that runs a t25 that may have a similar inlet that I could use. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/crazy.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':crazy:'>

You can use the SR20DE USDM one for the exhaust manifold gasket and I think the 300zx twin turbo one will work for your turbo gasket.
