you dont need the gasket, i dont use it and it seals great, that little metal ring that goes on the inside of the wastegate needs to bet there or else it wont work right, do you have that?

Glad you got it working. As for gaskets...I went through two before saying screw it. I have no gasket in there and it did leak a tad for about a week but the carbon from the exhaust filled the tiny little seapage. Its nice and sealed now with no gasket at all

Im glad i saw my mistake because this is my first boost project so it would have taken me a little while to figure out. Glad it worked and it was something simple.

my wg got in the day i was suppose to go to the track for the first time, so i threw it on in 2 minutes and bolted to the track. it was my first set up so i didn't know it wasn't right, i thought it sounded funny b/c i didn't have a dump tube for 5 mos. i drove it half *** boosted with an exhaust leak from the wg. i didn't figure it out until i installed my boost controller and the boost wouldn't raise, so i took the wg off to examine it, and sure enough no metal ring, good thing i knew where it was at
