Turbo uppipe/downpipe gaskets

[BuickTV6]

Hey guys, with my Ta33C turbo, I got what looks like to be
a copper gasket for the uppipe. When I took my stocker off, it looks like its this doughnut shaped thick metal piece. one oif the ears is cracked. Am I supposed to use this copper gasket in place of that? or do I have to order one of those doughnuts from gm? Also I notice i did not get a gasket for the exhaust turbo elbow for the downpipe, and the stocker has 1 of those. Its cooked beyond belief. Anyone have a GM part number for that downpipe, and how available thye are?

IF you got the stock up pipe with loose fitting 3 bolt flange and flared end of pipe, DO NOT USE THE COPPER GASKET, the gm part your looking at is Discontinued, GET A 2" graphite donut with 2 1/8" metal sleeve from auto parts store. try felpro 60537

well i just got the t33c as welll
limit sent me that copper 3 bolt gasket too

i didnt wanna waste it, so i actually stuck it between the turbo and that "doughnut shaped metal peice" as u called it
it sealed up just fine with no leaks


and good luck finding the proper downpipe gasket, i been searchin and no1 can get me the right flange gasket for that


lemme know if u find sumthing that works
