what do you do for gaskets?
 

Where do you get gaskets for bov, wastegates, downpipe and ----? In the past I've just gone to mitubishi and got eclipse gaskets. but now Ive got badass ---- that doesnt come on factory cars :6

Downpipe shouldn't need a gasket if the mating surfaces are flat.

I make my own gaskets...used to use copper sheeting, but it's gettin' a little expensive. Depends on what the gasket is for though...exhaust I love copper, but for little ---- stuff like bov's and wastegates I go to vato-zone and buy a sheet of lead layered gasket material.

Where do you get your copper sheeting!? i'm running out and can find it anywhere

online metals has it, but I've found that college art stores are a good place for it. They use if for sculpture classes I guess :8 Thats where I got mine.

COPPER GASKET MAKER FTW!!!!!

For hot stuff I use Red high temp RTV sealant and make sure the mating surfaces are flat. It works on manifolds, turbos, wastegates. I've never had a problem using this stuff.

For things like wastegates, water fittings and itntake manifolds I use cork gasket material with RTV smeared on really thin on both sides to help bond the gasket to the surface. if you ever decide to take it off later it comes off really easy.
