Reading flyinmiatas turbo instructions, it states “do not use any gaskets or they will blow out”. No high temp silicone or nothing? Is this what y’all have done? Thanks in advance.

 

For the interface between the header and the turbine inlet, yes. We typically just make sure that the surfaces are both flat, and bolt it together with no gasket or anything.

The use of a gasket on the outlet of the turbine going into the downpipe is common.

 

Sand flat. Smear with grease. Cinch bolts.
burnt carbon is your seal.

 

We do not recommend gaskets on the turbo side of our manifold, we expect FM is the same. As long as its a good quality turbo and we have done our job it should seal fine.
