No need to make a thread AND bring one back from the dead for the same reason.

I have the ebay gaskets installed and they are working great so far. Perfect fit with no leaks.

I think these are it. You might want to double check the bolt holes just to be sure.

On my DSM the factory gasket was a layered composite, I replaced it with a gasket that was a single layer of SS. Worked fine. I'm sure there are places out there that could stamp out a new gasket if you sent them the blowed out stocker as a template.

I popped off the turbo's heatshield yesterday.. so.. what would a blowing gasket look like? The turbo had some white staining along the gasket line.. I was expecting a black sooty look from a blowing gasket tho.. ?
Can post pics if need be.
Also, it seems the ring clamp around both halves of the turbo may be leaking some soot.. is this easy to remove + fix?
Thanks,
Steve

White=running lean.

I remember reading somewhere that MLS (multi layer steel) gaskets are less likely to fail than single layer gaskets.

In what application?

Think the article was talking about head gaskets.

I'm installing a well worn Greddy kit on my 1.6

I don't expect the mating surfaces to be flat but I'll check

What type of gaskets do I need for a TD04H-14g turbo if I decide to use one ??

I see generic gaskets listed as TD04 /TDO5 will these fit ????

Thanks

Copper RTV is all I'll ever use for turbo gaskets. The heat basically eats it alive and it looks like a powdery orange color when you remove the parts but it never leaked on me. Probably better than running without a gasket though.

Thanks. I have also heard that the copper RTV works but I would still like to have the option of a gasket.

Just bring it to a shop and get it sanded down flat on a disc sander, much easier and less to worry about. Or file away at your house, same results.

Yikes ! I just did some Googling on the gaskets - It seems that there is a lot of confusion about what gasket to use.

It's no wonder you guys go without them.
