Downpipe gasket needed!

[zx2man]

gonna install cobb downpipe and need the gasket that connects the bellmouth to the turbo...any place online at all to go to??????????

Just reuse the stock one, man, I've done that on plenty of turbo cars, you'll get at least one reuse out of it, almost 100% guaranteed.

...and make sure you tighten the turbo flange bolts just a touch before you try to wind them off. That breaks the thread interface and almost eliminates stripping them.

I've even run without one or made my own out of 25 gauge copper sheet. No problems.

AWESOME!..thanks man..oh yeah..im taking my time with this...first im gonna use this product called kroil..heard nothing but good about this stuff..spose to be alot better than pb blaster..anyways soak those studs and nuts really good..and tighten and loosted tighten and looses..dont wanna strip anything...Just in case I do break a stud..one of the guys at surgelinetuning supplied me with extra stud bolts and copper nuts...anyways should be good to go then..and cant wait for the extra power...ill try to take some pics in between swearing and drink breaks lol(guitar)

i've installed about 3-5 of these things now and we've reused the stock gasket as well

tip: soak the turbo studs in pb blast the night before the install. Try to get to the O2 sensors while they are still hot/warm, it makes them come out much easier.

+1 Excellent advice. And go slow on those stud nuts.
