Turbo Exhaust Gaskets

Turbo Exhaust Gaskets
So when I pull my S4 turbo/manifold off to put the S5 ones on, I notice that my turbo/downpipe gasket is cracked to hell and back and crumbles under a slight amount of pressure. The engine/manifold gasket is also partially burned through around one exhaust port. My question is, Pineapple Racing sells graphite replacement gaskets that are about half the price of the OEM replacement gaskets. I just can't fathom spending 110 dollars plus shipping for two gaskets, whereas the PR ones are only 60 something shipped. I was just wondering if anyone had some insight on the performance of these gaskets.

I used both the manifold and the turbo to exhaust graphite gaskets and the seem to be holding up just fine i was going to order the gaskets at the mazda dealer but when they told me some crazy amount that was my decision maker. And pineapple racing had them to me pretty quick.

How long have you had them on your car? I decided to be cheap and use a n/a block to manifold gasket for my turbo swap... bad idea haha, its TOAST and I have a massive exhaust leak. Now I have to drain the oil, coolant and remove the turbo just to fix it right.
