Have you read and studied the Mazda RX-7 Workshop Manual for your car?

You only need to replace what is worn out or going bad.


One thing, you never know what is going to go wrong with the turbo housing to exhaust manifold fasteners. Some come out easily and can be reused. Some break, and some strip. You can not be 100% prepared unless you want to spend much money in advance.

Best to pull them and then get what you need.

It also depends if you are putting on a complete unit or have to swap oil and cooling lines. If swapping, then you need many crush washers, and gaskets.

You will need at least two gaskets for the drain lines.
