sealer for downpipe and and turbo manifold

[jpcaudill]

Is there like a sealer I can put in between areas that are flat surfaced and have no gaskets? I thought I heard something before about a material made of copper you squeeze on and it seals... thanks.

What areas do not have gaskets ?
I got a copper gasket for my manifold... it has huge ribs to help it seal better.......

Oops, guess I forgot to mention that... between my downpipe and compressor.. and manifold and compressor, I they are both flat surfaced...

Awww isn't that touching

Anyway... I have no boost controller yet, I'm just controlling it with a bleeder and the wastegate... I've been up to 7 but that's as far as I will go right now. I'm trying to get it a stable 7, right now my car is apart because I had some exhaust leaks so I'm trying to get those squared away... I'll let you know how it is after I'm done.

I hear Mark C is the turbo man... I need to talk with him someday and figure out some things..

Anyway, it took me two months to get my drag kit. It's because turbonetics isn't getting turbos to drag quick enough... If you go with the "B" trim most likely you will get your kit quicker.... that's what I did.

Oh well, lemme know how it goes!

Hey... I hear my name.

There is a stainless-steel gasket that goes between the manifold and the turbo. I know where you can get it too... Try www.majesticturbo.com . Call em up and tell em you need a "T3 turbine gasket." They got em in stock and they are less than $10.

There is no discharge gasket per se. I didnt use any sealant, but it seems like a good idea. I'll prolly follow BLWNGSR's copper RTV idea next time I take the turbo down.
