im looking for the the turbo to manifold gasket,
the 5 bolt wastegate gasket, and the 3 bolt downpipe gasket.
im sure i can get them on ebay,but iirc i can get the cheaper from a parts store.
im looking for a part number/set from napa,autozone,local parts store,ect,ect .
i order a gasket set from autozone for a t3 set-up i had years ago, but the
people working there can not find it anymore, can anyone help.

That ---- can rip apart with backpressure in NA headers, I'd laugh at the wasted effort if you tried with a turbo manifold. Have you tried the DEALERSHIP by any chance? There has to at least be an online OEM source, and I've never seen turbo gaskets for more than $10, even at stealerships.

I use a thin layer of wheel bearing grease on all turbo flanges. Let it idle/drive a while before boosting. It burns off the grease and leaves hard carbon. I've never had an exhaust leak with it, can't say the same with the OEM gaskets.
