I need a new gasket from the turbo to the downpipe for my TII swap. Question is are the Pineapple racing gaskets suitable for stock or should I go with OEM? Ive searched and only found a few threads with mixed reviews and wanted a more definitive answer before I go spending more money. Anyone had any luck with these or are they no match to the OEM steel gaskets?

Thanks

 

do not do it. I just put one on my turbo Manifold and it blew out in about 400 miles. go with oem steel.

Here is a pic of mines when i removed it

+200000 for oem..i bought the turbo to manifold and turbo to dp and copper top locking nuts...blew the gaskets in about 800 miles. I talked with pineapple about this and they say its for cars without a lot of backpressure or my flanges could be warped. My flanges are fine and im 3'' all the way back so i think its the gaskets themselves. The things feel like cardboard when you first get them and then they are a PITA to get off since the material sticks to the metal and i had to get a razor to get it all off. Im not bad-mouthing pineapple, i think theyre great, but i really dont like the gaskets.

 

That settles it. OEM all the way

Thanks
