I can only recommend the genuine gasket, which is a layered steel item i think. Had leaks with anything else almost immediately.

If both mating faces are perfectly flat (I.e freshly machined) then the best gasket in the world is no gasket at all.

Failing that (I.e in most cases) then an o.e gasket will be fine, although if you have the capability to produce one then an annealed copper gasket will be as good, if not better.

Those cheap graphite gaskets aren't up to much, id avoid them as they tend not to last long.

Go for the OEM Toyota gasket.

well the turbo is a ATS Racing one and i cant get the OEM gakset for it...unless somone knows where they well them? hence why am thinking of making my own.

if your talking mani to turbo, then youll need the OEM gasket.
probably £30-40.

an aftermarket turbo with an adapter, youll need whatever footprint the adapter has and the turbo footprint.

you are talking 2 separate gaskets here.

i would not for one second recommend making your own. or using a material like that. find a proper gasket.
ats would sell it.

a turbo job is not something to take likely.

turbo to exhaust??
you talking downpipe gasket now?

i dont believe ats have a uk supplier.


but im sure if you can work out what gasket you need on the ats site, and its dimensions, you should be able to find something here in the uk from another supplier.

sorry yeah my bad

turbo to downpipe

ok cool would you know someone who could make the gasket up?

[jimGTS]

i dont, but if you can work out what you need exactly, you shouldnt have too much trouble finding somewhere online in the uk that has one.

depends what the turbo is i guess.

what turbo is it? they're a pretty common part, if it's a garrett, or garrett derived turbo (i.e precision) then it'll probably be a 5 bolt ford or garrett 4 bolt, all available from many, many places, all over the UK

if it's an ATS TD06 kit then it'll be a 3 bolt mitsubishi flange

[lookieuk]

its a ATS TD06

and thanks for the reply will do a search about
