T3 intenal wastegate gasket sets?

I am looking for a gasket set for a T3 turbo from a Saab. I have looked all over ebay and froogle and everyting but i haven't been able to find anything close to what my flanges look like.

I went to Autozone and the guy wasn't much help because I didn't have a clue of what year / make my turbo came off of, and he had never heard of a "wastegate"...ooook

I searched around here and saw that people use "High Temp Copper Silicone" from the autoparts store. I checked it and it's only ratef for 650 deg F...

Any suggestions / links are greatly appreciated.

If you're looking for the turbo flange gasket, get one from an 87-88 Thunderbird. I believe Autozone has the gasket set listed as "turbo gasket"

If you're going to make your own gasket, I wouldn't use any of the liquid stuff. Get a sheet of copper, some tin snips, and go to town
