I'm going to have my turbo rebuilt and beefed up my majetics, and hopefully it will solve the smoke problem. Anyway, I was wondering what type of gaskets are needed if I'm replacing the turbo with a hybrid?

Is the swap pretty easy? I have a local guy who is going to do the swap and he said its pretty straightfoward.

RETed

Reuse original gaskets if they are still good.
If you need to replace, get them from the Mazda dealer.

Swap is straight-foward...
Remove original, replace with new.

Well I heard the turbo to downpipe's gasket is always pretty good. But does anyone know any websites where I can order them from? I just the most important gaskets that are prone to leaking.

they have some on ebay that are all copper but I suggest not getting those because I changed all of them now I have a huge exhaust leak. I guess I should use silicon on both sides of the gaskets before I put them on next time? Or just spend the extra money and get oem. What do you guys think? ANyone with the all copper gaskets?

PM dcfc3s (rx7club id) or fc3s7 on teamfc3s, he has a whole bunch of s4/s5 exhaust gaskets. Very smooth transactions so you don't have to worry about getting con'd and I got all my gaskets (Turbo-DP, Turbo-Manifold, Manifold-Block)slightly used, for around $60.

I used Piston engine Head gasket sheets to make custom ones for my exhaust.

It works pretty well.

I'm guessing it might not take the heat from a manifold to block part though.
