i am porting my s4 turbos wastegate this week....

what gasket(s) do i need?

and when pulling the manifold and all involved what gaskets do i need? Do i need OEM ones or will aftermarket pepboys gaskets be ok. I dont want to have to replace them in a month or so. Even tho i am going to a stage 1 upgrade from bnr in a month anyway.

You should replace the gaskets, even for when you have to replace it again itll be better. The gaskets cost a lot. I got mine through mazda. I wouldent even bother with autozone you need some good oem gaskets for that intall. I spent total 170 bucks on all new gaskets, that was the engine gasket, turbo to mani, dp, oil lines, coolant lines. Its the best way really dont skimp out. Just follow the haynes or FSM and youll be fine its really not that hard. Good luck.
