wastegate gasket
 
I am tired of wasteting money on these paper wastegate gasket that only last for a week of driving before they blow out.
does anyone know where I can get metal wastegate gaskets from? or if not where can I fing the material they use to make these cheap ass gaskets , if I am gonna use the cheap ----, might as well get the material to make them myself.

Do you have the fire ring installed?

You could always just cut up a piece of thin copper for a gasket.

tial 38mm, I used the fire ring before also it lasted longer than the rest, I wish I could find some copper sheets so I can make the gaskets, I have aluminum sheets, but that wont work for exhaust.
I went to summit and order some Gaskets that are made by sce but they had no pics or description, so I am hoping they are copper like the rest of sce's exhaust gaskets, but for the mean time I am using ultra copper silicone wihich also last longer than the regular wastegate gaskets.
