What can I use to make a gasket for the hot side of my turbo?
 

I've checked toyota, they can't source me the gasket i need because the CT-12 was only available on JDM Supra's.
I just need to know what the best thing for it is. (i.e what gauge steel)

Re: What can I use to make a gasket for the hot side of my turbo?
 

Downpipe gasket? You don't need one.

Re: What can I use to make a gasket for the hot side of my turbo?
 

Just use high temp RTV (orange).

JUst fluxcore it together.

Re: What can I use to make a gasket for the hot side of my turbo?
 

Probably not, but i'd like to put one in for peace of mind. I know factory turbo applications come with downpipe gaskets installed, so i figure there has to be a purpose for it.

Re: What can I use to make a gasket for the hot side of my turbo?
 

Do as AWD says and use hig temp RTV it works great.

Thin copper pipe from HomoDepot. Cut one side straight through, roll out into a square, beat the ---- out of it w/ a hammer to widen it out, cut w/ dremel and tin snips, and finally coat w/ copper gasket spay. Done this twice to make a turbo/mani gasket and once for a DP gasket. Never leaked once. The can thing should work on as a DP gasket just coat w/ gasket spray. If you make a turbo/mani gasket w/ aluminum :l fist yourself.

There is like zero pressure there.. The exhaust is going to go the path of least resistance - that nifty 2.5-3 inch hole is probably the most likely path

Re: What can I use to make a gasket for the hot side of my turbo?
 

You can use a paper gasket smothered in high temp RTV sealant. I've been using it for. Hmm. about a month now, and no leaks yet.

Re: What can I use to make a gasket for the hot side of my turbo?
 

yeah the pop can should work fine, very little pressure and its sandwhiched between flanges. As long as the flanges are pretty flat it should be fine. How do you think paper exhaust gaskets hold up? In some apps they work good...

Re: What can I use to make a gasket for the hot side of my turbo?
 

Did you use that with a combo of another homemade gasket? or just by itself?

Re: What can I use to make a gasket for the hot side of my turbo?
 

by itself, and it works just fine

Re: What can I use to make a gasket for the hot side of my turbo?
 

i used litium spray on grease, didn't look great, but worked. just sprayed it on, and it burnt up and sealed

Re: What can I use to make a gasket for the hot side of my turbo?
 

Buy sheet copper and make a gasket using a combination of drill bits and a dremel with a 426 cutting wheel.
