turbo related gaskets..where to get em...

[Turbo6Smackdown]

Hey, I yanked half my car apart, and am getting close to throwin it back together. need the little 3 hole 'header to turbo' gasket, the little oil drain tube gasket, and stock exhaust elbow 'donut'. know anywhere that i can find these gaskets individually at? Im not ordering that 25 dollar kit from kirbans, just to get the donut out of it, nor am i spending 20 something bucks from postons on just the donut either. Anyone have a source?

down pipe Doughnut is $20.00

Hey Turbo6Smackdown, I don't know if you have O'Reilly's auto parts stores up in Detriot but they have a turbocharger gasket kit. It's made by Fel Pro. The drain, donut, inlet bell gasket and a few o'rings are supplied in the kit. It "Does Not" have the 3 hole (header) gasket in the kit. But I sure that Fel Pro makes that gasket also. Best of all the kit is about $13.99!!!! Fel Pro part number is ES72697, any good parts store that sells Fel Pro gaskets should be able to get them for you.
P.S. If you find the Fel Pro gasket for the turbo to header post the part number for everyone that might need it.

solution

make your own oil return gasket with gasket paper at the parts store, most of us do not use that 3 bolt flange gasket, use copper permatex. the donut gasket comes in the set of felpro's engine gasket kit for the top end. That is probably less than all those added together, and you'll have a whole lot of extra gaskets

Fel Pro Head Set (HS9441PT) $108.99!!! Turbocharger Gasket Set (ES72697) $13.99.......HHHHHHHMMMMMM $108.99 vs $13.99???????? I might be a Hillbilly but I don't think that $13.99 and whatever the price of the header gasket will top $108.99... Oh, the drain gasket is supplied in the Head gasket set, no need to buy gasket paper and make your own.

so, i go into murrays for some rtv, vac line and other stuff, and just for ****s and giggles, i say "hey, check if you guys carry this certain exhaust donut"..
dude pulls one out for 9 bucks.. im like "no way...." in murrays of all places...
Also, while in the help section, i see brand new coolant reservoir and windshield wiper solvent jug caps. (was contemplating getting some new ones for 10 bucks at kirbans, till i just restored em myself instead) No ****.. sometimes ya never know
