Default What to use for exhaust gasket?

Well, i want to install my turbo setup tomarrow, but i ve ran into one problem, exhaust mani gasket, where my adapter plate meets the turbo. Ive got an hf gasket for the mani side, but the turbo side, ive found is a mazda 323 turbo, so i called teh dealership, and they wont have it till monday. Soooooo, its a really simple design, ihi rbh5, square, with a circle in teh middle, now what material would be good for a custom HM gasket? lol. Any info is appreciated, search is down for some reason, it wont bring up any results for anything i type. THanx.

Wow, not to be a bitch, but shows how much people read my whole post. I called them up, and they wont be able to get it in until monday. I need to have one by saturday, sooooooooo, i need a way to put a temp one in until i can get the right one. Its my fault, should have thought about it earlier, but i just need to kno what metal i can use to make a quick one. I know my exhaust manifold gasket on teh head is jsut a flimsy peice of metal, but what? Thanx...

Hmmm, i thought about the ford dealer, but i knwo the turbo was from a mazda, thats why i never checked. I guess i will tommarow though, there local, so it cant hurt.

AS for the gasket material, they didnt have any metal stuff, they had high temp copper stuff, but only to 600 degrees. Mayeb ill try the aluminum foil trick, lol.
