Greddy Turbo to DP gasket - yes again!
Yes I know there's a million threads about this but no one has successfully gotten the mitsu gasket to work but there was someone who tried and said it didn't. I had my DP and turbo thermal coated and there's an exhaust leaks between them. I'm guessing the thermal coating is what's causing the leak. Anyone who has a gasket is their car can tell me where to get one?
Thanks,
t.t.

Trey, I've been running no gaskets on both sides of the turbine housing for a long time and haven't had any leaks. If you have a way to lap them (800 grit sandpaper and FLAT piece of glass/MDF/etc) it'll work way better than any gasket.

hmm ok I'll give lapping a try. Incase it doesn't work I ordered a gasket kit from ebay. It looks like a better fit than the 3000GT VR4

I'm tired of the ******* gaskets either blowing through or just straight blowing apart. The side of my valve cover is a mess cause of the damn gasket.

Interesting...
That does look exactly like the downpipe gasket that comes with the Greddy kit, though I've never seen a gasket between the manifold and turbo on a Greddy before. One presumes that the mating surfaces of those two components are sufficiently flat...
