Im not running one on my teg, homemade log mani with 1/2" flange bolted to a 16g, had it set to 17psi for the last 1.5 months with 0 leaks. Alot of the newer porsches dont run gaskets between the turbo either. I think its just something else to go wrong. Even if it did leak for some reason, you wouldnt have the gap left over from the gasket so the leak would be minimal at best.
