How many gaskets come with an engine gasket kit costing $140?

I only got 5 gaskets in a "kit" from Irvine Mazda, and I don't think that's right. I was told by another dealer that this kit includes 23 gaskets. Can anyone confirm what the engine gasket kit includes? Thanks.

LIM, UIM, OMP o-ring, Exhaust manifold gasket (2), oil filler neck o-ring and maybe some others I'm forgetting.

I don't think you get 23.

Did your kit for $100 include the exhaust manifold to turbo gaskets?

My Mazdatrix kit was like $450 but it had every gasket, o-ring and washer in the entire engine.

the $100 gasket kit does not include the exhaust manifold to turbo gaskets, there are two gaskets, a bigger one and then a slightly smaller one. The $450 kit from Mazdatrix sounds like a pretty good deal. My project was easily held up 2-4 weeks just waiting on gaskets to come in that i had to order as i went. In the end the price probably came out the same as that too.
