S5 Turbocharger Unit Gasket Q

Is there supposed to be a gasket for the two pieces shown in this pic? Thanks.

I don't think it's a very high perssure area of the turbo so you don't really need to worry about the gas leaking out.

I bought it complete and there wasnt one when I took it apart to port it. I was curious about the lack one. I didnt see anything that would match up in the parts diagrams.

There definitley isnt one on the s4 turbo, I just took mine off yesterday. I would assume there isnt one on the s5 either, ive never heard anyone claim to have a problem with it and ive never seen it either.
