That ---- can rip apart with backpressure in NA headers, I'd laugh at the wasted effort if you tried with a turbo manifold. Have you tried the DEALERSHIP by any chance? There has to at least be an online OEM source, and I've never seen turbo gaskets for more than $10, even at stealerships.

I use a thin layer of wheel bearing grease on all turbo flanges. Let it idle/drive a while before boosting. It burns off the grease and leaves hard carbon. I've never had an exhaust leak with it, can't say the same with the OEM gaskets.
