I hate leaks (got a Q)
well, these are dry leaks, but they still suck.
Those gaskets I made for the HF manifold, and the turbo side are in fact leaking and I didn't know about it.. I always have heard the exhaust from up front, but thought it was my downpipe connection to the turbo, but I was wrong. I have to rip everything back out and get new gaskets, but that's my question.
Where can I find the gasket for the bottom of the HF manifold? And also one for the IHI RHb5 Turbo square flange? I'm sure glad I found these leaks though, I'm sure I was loosing a great deal of power. I need those gaskets! At least I'm not driving the rex now, so no big hurry, but any help would help me out a lot.

Where would i get gaskets for a greddy manifold and a 15g turbo. Ive already tried contacting greddy and no one has e-mailed me back. Is there some kind of material i can buy that i can custom fit to my needs?

Does anyone know what kind of material i could use.(sheet metal maybe? or will that get too hot?) I need to make a gasket for my 15g turbo. Im not sure exactly where it's leaking, but it leaves my heat shield black in one spot, which greatly narrows it down. I was wondering if i could use something rather than buy the "real" gaskets, cause greddy won't talk to me

Really thin sheet metal should work. Maybe use a couple layers.

Only one way to find out. It should hold up fine. Some of the gaskets on my setup seem to be made out of sheet metal and they hold up fine.
