hey, does anyone know the propper way to place the gaskets??? im thinking that the turbo gasket, the ridge faces the turbo and the flat side goes to the adapter plate.. is that right???

and what about the std gasket??? what way should that face???

also, i know the hf mani has to be port match but i heard somewhere that the std one does not... is this true or just a bunch of crap???

std is supposed to have bigger ports. either way, get an exhaust gasket and put it up to see where the ports can be worked.
