turbo gaskets

[nolanator]

Hey everyone,
I apologize if this topic has been covered a few times before. I tried to use the search function, but a 'T-Error" comes up...

Anyway, I am replacing the turbo on my car, and was wondering if someone could point out each and every gasket I would need to do this job....or link me to where the information could be found?

Thank you.

The only gaskets from the factory are on the oil return line under the turbo and a doughnut style gasket where the downpipe meets the elbow. Depending if the turbo was ever replaced in the past, you may find a coppet gasket at the 3 bolt flange.

The doughnut gasket can be reused if it is in good condition.

Is there a gasket for the oil feed line as well?

No that is an inverted flare fitting so no gasket or teflon tape needed.

Perfect! Thank you for the info

I would recommend putting a gasket between the header and the turbo exhaust connection. The adjoining surfaces may be uneven and cause a small exhaust leak. I stress that you use no RTV on the oil drain gasket.

You should never use Teflon tape on any part that is threaded into the engine and connected to the crankcase. One small piece of Teflon tape could destroy a turbo in very fast.
