most people don't, but if you really want to, you can buy gaskey materia (make sure it's for exhaust), and trace your flange on it and cut your own ;)

Yes because if you buy just regular gasket stuff, it'll burn I know. I was like, WTF did I do, and in let say 2 minutes it was all burnt out, after that I just used some high temp silicone and no gasket, It worked

I ran the HF metal gasket between the adaptor plate and mani, and the metal mitsu. gasket between the plate and the turbo. Better to meticulous and do it right, then to have to do it over again.

Actually it probably would after a while. I never ran a gasket, but you can make one out of copper pretty easy if your stuff needs a perfect seal. Just lay a sheet of copper over the manifold and hammer on it for a while. It will bend over the corners and into the holes and eventually break off and you have a perfect gasket HMT style.
