Turbo and Downpipe gaskets

[91blk240]

Today I removed my manifold and turbo to find where my massive exhaust leak was coming from and the gasket between the turbo/flange is pretty much gone. I also looked at the gasket between the downpipe and turbo extention and it doesn't look too good either. Doing a little bit of research I see the z32 turbo gasket will work, but are there any options for the downpipe gasket(3 hole)?

Also, for the people that have replaced these in the past where did you order your gaskets from and how much did they cost. I see Heavy Throttle has the turbo gasket for $20 and the downpipe(3 hole) for $10. I'm just seeing if theres other places to get these for a cheaper price.

Thanks in advance,
Justin

The search would show that a similar discussion involving these gaskets (I believe) had taken place. phase2motortrend.com, check there for the downpipe gasket.

I used the search and what came up wasn't very much. Nobody really commented on the downpipe gasket and nobody said anything about where they purchased their gaskets from. I searched the link you gave me and found the turbo/flange to be a little cheaper then anywhere else that I've found, but still haven't seen a decent price on the downpipe gasket.

summitracing sells gasket material. its pretty cheap ($8 for 6"x24") and u can cut out out of it.

anybody know?

someone told me that if it's not steel it will burn up.

Go to a dealership....mine was $8 for the turbo gasket. And the downpipe gasket was a couple bucks at a muffler shop.

[einherjar]

from what? a z32 turbo to downpipe gasket?

anything other than metal will disintegrate. Think about the temps of your exhaust.

OEM gaskets for turbo to extension and extension to DP are metal.

Do not use anything on the turbo to extension that isnt metal... itll burn with the quickness.

Same goes for the DP... just get the gaskets from HT. My dealership wanted $20 for the turbo gasket.
