Hello
I just purchased an 86 GN and am brand new to this. But the seller had a new TE-44 turbo, so I had it installed. The mechanic would not pass it(inspection) because the gasket going to the downpipe was shot. He says its an asbestos mesh type gasket and this thing is next to impossible to find!! So now I have a rejection sticker and no ride! Any help on how to find this gasket? The turbo tech at Poston parts says there is no gasket and that it seals metal to metal--who is right??!!
