Turbo exhaust gaskets
Are the turbo exhaust gaskets reusable? like if i was to remove the turbo to port the wastegate would i need new gaskets? the only reason i ask is because I was just looking on mazdatrix and they are like about 50 bucks a peice.

I'd say replace them, I really wanted to reuse mine when I pulled my turbo, but then I got to thinking that spending the money now would be better than having it leak, then having to pull it all back apart and spend the money anyways
just my 2cents

I've reused my manifold to block, turbo to manifold and turbo to exhaust pipe gaskets a number of times. I haven't had any problems. I tend to gob the orange copper sealant on both sides of each gasket, but most of it burns off anyway.
