S5 Turbocharger: oil and water lines
Will RTV seal good where the lines connect to each other/onto the turbo, for both oil and water?
Or will a gasket be necessary? When I removed the lines the gaskets were destroyed.
I did a quick search, but didn't turn up the results I was after.
Thanks,
James

I've used RTV when I swaped my turbo out and it's holding up. It's been about 6 months on a hybrid turbo and no leaks anywhere. Pretty sure it's fine to use RTV.

Just an FYI on that, most of the time the additional price you're paying through a mazda dealership is still cheaper then mazdatrix'
3% not cash payment fee
Package and handling fee
Shipping fee.
The mazda dealer never (around here anyway) charges for shipping a part to the dealership for you to pickup. It's usually there overnight anyway.

haha. thats funny. i wish that were the case here. my gay-*** mazda dealer charges a ton more than mazdatrix. plus, my mazda dealer takes twice as long to get stuff shipped in for me. mazdatrix is awesome for us out in the boonies.

Someparts are cheaper. You just need to be a miser and compare both. I know for a fact however that gaskets are cheaper through the local dealership here.
