Can i use this gasket?
Can i use this gasket?
I was rummaging through the shed and found a box of my old GSL-SE parts, and among those parts i found a brand new in the package engine to manifold gasket.
Since my FD has a leak at the engine to manifold gasket, could i use this gasket for the FD?
or would i still need to buy the actual 2 gaskets?
i figure i should ask because i dont want to spend $200 for the gaskets if i already have one here.

I would not use the the GSL-SE gasket, it is a not the same material and can not handle the heat from the turbos. The Turbo II and FD both use an all metal gasket design to prevent them from deteriorating.
Like said above, it will fail. It cannot withstand they heat. I have taken many cars apart that were rigged as such and had terrible exhaust leaks. I have a bunch of the proper gaskets in good shape if you need them.
