Replacing old gaskets, Is it totally necessary?
I finished installing my s5 turbo last week and i did not replace my gaskets. Infact there was not a turbo to mani gasket on the s4 so i dident install one on the s5. So today i went to mazda to see how much all these cost and i find out that the s5 uses a turbo to mani gasket! ****, so now i gotto pull the turbo again and im going to be replacing ALL of the gaskets. My question is for now with the old gaskets ( And one oil line leaking a little ) Should i be driving the car at all? Cuz theres some places i have to take the car. Thanks

LOL I reused all my tubro/manifold gaskets when rebuilding my motor....the gasket set for an N/A is like 80 bux cheaper......I belive my S4 has turbo to manifold gasket...but no gasket on the peice that covers the wastgate area...
