Intake Manifold gasket difference between a turbo and N/A 1987
what is the difference between the intake manifold gaskets for a N/A and a turbo? I can find gaskets for a turbo for $7 and the N/A for $25, so will the turbo gaskets work on an N/A?

Though I wouldn't recommend it, I think I remember reading somewhere that somebody used an N/A mani with a TII LIM gasket on a 4 port block, or something along those lines, that involved cutting and grinding and port matching. I'll have to find the source again sometime.
Again though, not recommending or advising doing that. Probably would cause more problems than you're wanting to deal with.

or you can get a whole install kit from a certain memeber for a little more than what you found that one gasket for.
the price difference is because mazda went to a multi layer steel gasket for all n/a series 4 and 5's. nice thing is the gasket is reusable, downside is it costs 4 times at much.
got more of those damn things than i will ever use.

sharingan 19, I was on my phone so I couldn't see the picture when I posted but now that I'm on a computer.
j9fd3s, I'm guessing the water O rings are the holes between the ports on the TII gasket?
