I haven't used a gasket there. Are you sure the flange is flat?

the i use ultra coper high temp rtv its like 6$ a tube at salvos, pepboys, any of those places.... Probly can make 50+ turbo gaskets with it... I use it for all kinds of ----... works great...

You can use a soda can if you like also. I personally didn't use one on my last set-up and it was good to go.

soda can... decent idea.. i used a similarly thick sheet of copper. now i use nothing. weirtech for the win.

stainless roof flashing works wonders for flange gaskets

Re: hmt style gasket how to?
 

If you can find a sheet of copper that would be ideal. Soft, malleable metal that doesn't melt till around 1800* F. If not I'd go for the stainless roof flashing. Aluminum melts at 1224*F, pretty low, and can be lower if its alloyed.

Excellent points, noob. You make me proud of HMT.

i use sheet aluminum for my gaskets. they are reusable and free cause i get the aluminum from work. we have tons of scraps
