Oh how I hate asking newb questions -- Gasket question
I'm going to call Malloy Mazda tomorrow. I'm going to order new gaskets. I'm in no way a mechanic (obviously), so I'm wondering what gaskets truly need to be replaced. The upper and lower intake mani gaskets and the turbo gaskets (intake and airpipe). If my exhaust gaskets are still in good shape, so can I still reuse them?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Metal gaskets can most likely be reused. The ones that are in layers should be flat and hard to tell it's layered. The thin ones should not be creased or bent. Make sure none have cracks.
If you are replacing the intake manifold (lim) gasket then you have the exhaust manifold and turbos off? You may need studs and nuts. The dp gasket would be most likely in need of replacing. Replace the water hoses to the turbos.

Thanks for the help guys. I guess I wasn't being all too clear. I'm in the process of putting my reman in. Tried calling Malloy, but I keep getting cut off "This number cannot be completed from your calling area" ... wth?! Grrr... I'll try again tomorrow.
