pineapple racing turbo gaskets
Turbo gaskets are things that i keep forgetting about in my build. Now that I'm thinking about them, has anyone use the pineapple racing turbo to downpipe graphite gaskets? Do they hold up or not? Im going to buy oem for the turbo to manifold gasket, but would rather not spend $68 on an OEM DP gasket. Also, isnt there supposed to be a gasket that goes under the plate that covers the wastegate?

There is a gasket under the wastegate cover. There is a few studs that go through it to hold on the downpipe, but there is also a few bolts holding the wastegate side of the cover. Keep those bolts intact and you shouldn't have to replace the gasket unless its no good or you want to for piece of mind.

I just looked at my knightsports hybrid turbo and there is no gasket there. What I thought was a gasket from memory is actually just where the two parts meet unevenly due to poor design. I'd call Atkins just to make sure.
Sorry.
Sorry.

just got off the phone with atkins, mazda doesnt even list a gasket there. (probably why the guy at mazda is taking 30min+ to get back to me when he said 5) lol. so thats good, one less thing to have to get! has anyone tried the pineapple racing turbo to DP gasket yet?

just got off the phone with pineapple racing. He told me that with a free flowing exhaust there shouldnt be a problem with their $20 DP gasket at all. He said hes personally used them with out problem. He also told me that if i dont like them/they blow out, i can mail it back and he will credit my the shipping and cost of the part towards a new OEM gasktet. Im sold, pineapple racing it is!
