need help finding turbo gasket

well pretty soon im going to be installing my greddy turbo kit with the bnr upgraded turbo. im in the process getting new bolts and gaskets looks like oil drain, manifold-turbo, turbo-down pipe gaskets are the same as a t25 turbo but my question is i cant seem to find this gasket...anyone have a place where i can buy this and hopefully see it within a week or sooner...i have been told i can get it through greddy but takes a couple of months i cut a picture of the pipe i need the gasket for. btw: if i am wrong about the other gaskets please let me know

thanks

i tried to get some replacement ones through greddy and for one reason or another it never happened.

your better off cutting your own gaskets out

i might have to go with that option...it also looks like this gasket might be the same as the evo 20g turbo by looking at the pictures

Just buy a piece of thin 'Garlock' gasket material and trace it out.

DIY old school!

high heat gasket maker works for the compressor side. dont use it for the exhaust side, it turns to ash before you get the car up to operating temp >_<

i tried using the high heat gasket maker and it still leaks boost (but it was user error) so i think it will work just fine...i may have found a actual gasket that is always available..ill post more details once it is installed and holding pressure properly

I may have one for that pipe as I have an extra one. If I do I will ship it to you at no cost, except shipping, if your still having leaks.

I thought you needed the manifold to turbo gasket, that one you pictured I'd make. The other ones you need to buy. Depends where you live, I know turbo city in Anaheim has the turbo gaskets if you still need those. (714) 639-4933 turbo city, I have the number to custom turbo in Santa Fe Springs (562)944-5610. They don't always have the smaller but sometimes they do and if they are closer to you it's worth the call to avoid the drive to anaheim.

With the BNR upgrade having a larger turbo inlet, did you shave the first 'suction' pipe to fit?

.....and don't forget to trim the gasket for the same joint.

i shaved a bit off the gasket it looks like it should seal..while attempting to install my gasket i had a bolt fall into the turbocharger! i spend most of the night fishing it out without removing the turbo..ill finally put everything back together tomorrow night (btw while removing the sealant on my outlet pipe i noticed the razor did not sweep everything off im sure that flange is not smooth and might be warped
