new gaskets when removing turbo?

do you need to use all new gaskets when removing the turbocharger or are some of them reusable? 80 bucks for a down pipe gasket seems extreme to me and id like to avoid that expense if i can.

the DP gasket can be reused if its in good shape, the problem is that the last guy reused it, and so did the guy before him....

the S5 manifold to turbo gasket is usually in good shape too.

the S4 turbo to manifold gasket you should be really picky with, they used to fail quite a bit
