Yea its a t3 .48/.60 60 trim. okay lets see if i can explain.
gasket between the turbo and manifold
gasket between exhaust flange and turbo
gasket between inlet pipe and turbo
gasket between outlet pipe and turbo
gaskets for oil and water lines (im using a steathmode kit so i dont need those)
but im assuming that someone out there makes a kit that comes with all these gaskets? and if i dont run any gaskets at all will it cause any leaks? im assuming that most people just dont run gaskets am i right??

you dont need a gasket between the inlet pipe and the turbo, the outlet pipe and the turbo, you also shouldnt need gaskets between the manifold and the turbo and the dp and the turbo if the surfaces are flat, you can however use copper gasket spray on the surfaces. also i believe atpturbo.com has them and fast-turbo.com has gaskets for turbos, i'm not exactly sure, check them out.

why would you tell him not to use a gasket on the turbo to manifold? Even if its flat i would want one there, go to ford and get one for that, as well as the outlet of the turbo to the pipe that comes off of it (or use rtv type ---- for that one)

Check on ebay or make your own. The t3 turbine inlet gasket should be the stainless steel shim type gasket. Ive seen some guys run without gaskets and be ok and others leaked badly... id just get the gasket so you dont have to worry about it
