Please remove the whole gasket, run it iron on iron.(like everybody else)

If the surface is flat enough no leaks will appear...

I have replaced the gasket on my (old) greddy turbo 3 times...
Between the mani and turbo...All manifold bolds broke off...
It kept blowing into pieces....(replacement nissan part)
Finaly solved it by bringing the compressor side to a machine shop and resurface it...This time i used a Saab 1 layer gasket...
Do it right the 1st time... Make mani cuts, get grade 8 studs, use no gasket..

im confused because the reply ABOVE says #14445(which is the one i need) will not work with what i desire.
please clarify because i have already ordered the part.

what has you confused? look at the diagram, you see two turbos, and you see two downpipes. inbetween each is part number 14445, which happens to look just like a gasket.
to specify:
i personally wouldn't bother with the gasket, just plain the turbine and dp flanges smooth.
to specify:
gasket for GReddy turbo out (turbo to DP), Nissan 300 ZX 14415-17M00
Gasket for the turbo in (manifold to turbo), Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4
Gasket for the turbo in (manifold to turbo), Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4

yes i have already removed the damaged gasket and used no gasket. it is perfectly sealed now. thanks for the tip.

To hopefully not add to the confusion, all my records show a gasket from a 300GT VR4 to go from the turbo to downpipe, but I have never purchased one.
Since it is sealing without one, I would wait until the 14445 comes in(since you couldn't stop it), maybe it will be the same and we will know a source for sure.

yeah i think im wrong, i gotta lookup what previous guys were running. i know some where using the 300zx gaskets, but either dp to turbo, or manifold to turbo, i cant remember anymore, Im not a greddy guy .
