Exhaust gaskets
How come on mazdatrix the 12a exhaust gasket is 12 dollars and the 2nd gen turbo one is 60?!
For my 12a turbo I need to have:
12a engine <-> 12a exhaust gasket <-> 12a to 13b Manifold adapter <-> 13b turbo gasket <-> 13b S4 manifold Right?

All TII exhaust gaskets are pricey.
They arent paper or graphite/asbestos like the 12A gaskets.The TII's are copper/stainless/whatever composite and have to endure ridiculous torture to survive on that part of the engine.
I reused a couple old ones with good results until my S5 engine was ready.It came back from Mazdatrix with a full engine gasket kit,which thankfully included all the exhaust pieces.
