Turbo gasket Part #??? and where Edit with updates and pics

Ok It looks as if I need to attempt to replace my turdo gasket. I found that my exhaust had become very loud and during my investigation found a missing bolt on the Mani and 3 of the 4 nuts missing off the studs holding on the turbo and my gasket sticking out shown here: I really have no clue what think I may be able to get this done. Anyone know where I can get the gasket and what part number it is so I don't have issues once I get it all apart?
Any pointers would more then appreciated.

EDIT::
So I finally managed to get a Gasket thank's to Bill Slo3.5msp. When I finally started to tear into her I found some very interesting things. It seems my car likes to save the bolts it spits out up behind the "s" pipe. I also learned that I guess she doesn't like bolts cause I found several missing. The s pipe it self was being held on by 2 bolts and the turbo was hang'n there by 1!! I also came to find out that the metal gasket basically exploded. Lucky none of those metal pieces went into the turbo.

I got this from MSProtegy: Which gave me the confidence to do it myself

its not that hard really. ive done this uninstall/install within a few hours.

first jack the car up and put in on jack stands

next you need to drain all the liquids from the car

then take out eveything that will be in your way, ie. IC piping, Intake, radiator fan, etc.

then take out all the manifold bolts, which (if im correct) are 12mm. now with this you will have to use a combanation wrench, and a swivle to get to some of the bolts.

take all of them off but the two center ones which are nuts instead of bolts.

before you pull your turbo/manifold assembly off, disconect all of your water lines and oil lines leading to the turbo. also disconect your exhaust at the s-pipe to j-pipe.

once you have everything off, take off the two nuts and pull the turbo/manifold assembly through the top of the engine bay.

then get to work on taking the turbo off of the manifold. use some good penatrant to soak the nuts on the manifold for a few min. cause it will just make everything easier.

replace gasket, missing nut, and install eveything all over again.

i hope this was helpful.(thumb)

got a few from the dealer when i did a worked on a couple msp's back in the day
 
Check out www.atpturbo.com for the gasket. I believe it's a t3 flange. Most turbo parts on there website will tell you what turbo it fits. Just look for the gt28r turbo and on the bottom of the page there will be a list of related parts.
 
Thanks guys. I ended up ordering one fron the nearest Dealer they will over night it and it'll be in tommarow. I would have just picked up the one Slo has got but I have no time to get out his way with the Holiday almost here.


Do I use silicone gasket glue stuff when installing this or is ok just as is?
 
its ok as is.. If you use any sealant, it will just burn off since it is the exhaust afterall, so its pointless..
 
I found them all stored away behind the s pipe.... but I had actually bought a bunch to replace the ones I new were missing. The only ones I ended replaceing with new were the nuts on the turbo. The rest were tucked away for safe keeping by the car. LOL
