P/N for lower intake gasket?
I'm look it my parts fische, and I see two part numbers for the lower intake gasket.
N3A1-13-111 and N3A1-13-111A
Does anyone know what the difference is, and which ones I will need? I'm told that they switched from paper to metal gaskets at some point... do they have different P/Ns?
BTW: Removing the turbos isn't nearly as hard as everyone makes it out to be. I took me about 3 to 4 hours to get them out, and its my first time. I could probably do it in 2.5 hours if I had to again.
Thanks
Paul

N3A1-13-111C is the newest number. The part number just superseded.
The only issues there were both applied to the FC 13b, where the gasket material went from asbestos to non-asbestos and the grain pattern went from vertical to horizontal. There were some sealing concerns because of this.
The metal vs. fiber gasket controversy arose when Mazda Comp parts offered a metal gasket directly from japan for their FC 13b racing membership, yet retail customers were stuck with the fiber-type.
