Tinfoil? I wanna do this tonight so I can get it all installed

why dont you take it to a get resurfaced at a machine shop

On the JYTurbo mailing list, you either use a belt sander, or a block of wood with sandpaper stapled to it. Takes 30 seconds to five minutes depending on which method you go with.

Or you can drive fifteen minutes across town to drop it off, then back another 15 minutes later on and shell out $20+.

Your call, but the solution is ------- obvious.

Im gonna take it apart later on and use a flat file, should take to long. I doubt I could get it perfect though so I would like to throw a 2 layer tinfoil gasket in there, that will definetely work right? just a tight seal, its metal and itll be squished to ----

I dont want to give a generic shop my turbo (which i would have to drive out of town for) and trust them not to get anything inside of the turbo internally itself

SpankedYA!

I own a belt 4x36 belt sander now incase of such issues!

Put the god damn thing against the side of the chop saw blade. 4.7 seconds later, your problem is solved.

Anyone else think that using tinfoil is ridiculous? I'm pretty sure it would just disintegrate or something-- put tinfoil in a fire, i'm pretty sure it just gets all thin and crumbly, and if you're worried about ---- going through your turbo, it would probably be tinfoil going through it if you use it. If you don't have a chop saw or a belt sander, just buy some sweet *** sandpaper for like $2.00 and wrap it around a wood block and go to town. And why not use a gasket? They come stock on your car and i don't recall anyone complaining that their gasket failed? You can get one brand new for under $20, or just use your old one over

tin foil is retarded


everyone and their mother uses gaskets. ive never seen one bllow out.

this thread is rediculous.

I've seen a number of those perforated metal foil SSAC homo-gaskets blow out. I also see more turbo Honduhs that you do, hottits.

Either run no gasket, or run one of the bling-zilla MLS gaskets.

you guys are retarded, the t3 gasket will not blow out if installed correctly.

you guys are making a production out of a stupid question and a even simpler answer.
