Gaskets??
 

Where do you guys get your gaskets? I want to make some out of copper but can't find any... Is there anything else that may work? I found some flat stock brass, has anyone ever tried it before? I'll keep looking for some copper but just wondering what everyone else uses?

Re:Gaskets??
 

it may sound ghetto, but I use old licsence plates, as long as they are not aluminum they will work fine.
hold up for pretty long as exhaust manifold gaskets/header gaskets. lol.

Lol the only gasket in my turbo setup that I'm running is the manifold to head gasket. I didn't use any other gaskets and it runs fine with no exhaust leaks. I did use gaskets for my oil drain though.

I think I'm gonna try the brass, it's pretty expensive but I think it'll work. I just need to make a gasket for the turbo and the manifold on the adapter plate, down pipe, and for the wastegate. I'll try it and let you all know how it works.

High temp silicon (red), if it's good enough for the old school turbo F1 motors it's good enough for anything I got.

Re:Gaskets??
 

we used the high temp (red) rtv silicone for gaskets between sections of my friend's Impreza headers. That was the reccomended material.

Re:Gaskets??
 

I got the high temp black ----, it works good so far. But I also haven't ran my car yet since starting my install so we'll see in about a week or so. ;D

Im somewhat intereste here cuz the red rtv sealent says it holds up to 650 degrees F and doesnt exhaust gas get to around 1300+??

How is that stuff holding or is it that the metal doesnt reach that temperature... because I was going to use the red rtv sealent from liek a pepboyz or autozone but that 650 limit scared me off
