Primary Turbo Intake Pipe
I'm changing this pipe very soon on my '93 FD. According to the diagram (Factory Manual p. C-26), the pipe-turbo flange gasket must be replaced.
Is this a must, or is this only Mazda's set-up go get $30 for a piece of gasket from me?
How can you tell if the gasket is still reusable? Thanks much, dudes

That flange is pretty un-stressed - it's an intake pipe, so it only sees vacuum. Nothing to worry about. If you had a big ole leak there, you would probably never notice it - the car would start and run just fine.
