Fast Help Regarding Turbo Manifold Gasket!

Replacing my turbo manifold gaskets with OEM gaskets. Trying to figure out if there is any specific way these need to go

Big hole on the right or left side and which side goes against the engine and which side should be against the turbo manifold

Nevermind, read the manual. For others knowledge if you are wondering, you face the crimp side out to the manifold. So picture 1 would be how it looks with it sitting on the engine. That front side is going to be facing the manifold.

Theres also holes in the side housings that you can align the bottom left hole with to verify it's installed correctly.

The side housings have two holes so you could put them either way. But according to the manual, the smooth side (what is picture in picture #2) is supposed to go against the engine so that's the way I installed it.

What a pain in the A by the way and I have a single turbo. Couldn't even think of how hard it'd be with the twins in there still.
