Unhappy ok turbo to downpipe gasket ??

Sadly, when it comes to this particular gasket... You must spend the money for the best results. It will give you peace of mind.

Or buy a used one. The stock gasket is really the only way to go.

Or you could make a downpipe gasket using this method (well, mine is a backplate gasket, but you get the idea)
