changing the turbo, what gaskets, and other stuff.

so im changing out the turbo on my car, stock for stock, what gaskets should i buy?

do i need a mani to block?

where is a good place to get them? im thinking pineapple racing has good prices.

is there a source for ss lines to the turbo?

thanks

there is no real advantage in ss lines in your situation. they will be expensive and time consuming to put together (you'll have to make them custom) and the factory lines are already hardlines (except part of the coolant return line).

Pretty sure you can't but I'm not 100%. All the gaskets are metal (unless someone changed them) so they should be reusable unless there was a previous leak that was left un-repaired. Basically you should remove them and only replace the gaskets that seem bad. And yes the stock lines are much more durable than any aftermarket stuff.
