Gasket Kits when Going Single

the cheapest i can find a complete gasket kit is $400.. are there any gaskets I don't need if I'm going single as to cut the cost of replacing them all?

What gaskets are you looking for? I didn't know there was a single turbo gasket kit (not poking fun).

i'm stupid I never elaborated on the entire question... I blame that on the tequila LoL
I'm going single and replacing all gaskets on the exterior of a reman engine. the gasket kit comes with replacements for engine internals as well as gaskets for the stock turbos. I am removing all emissions as well. what gaskets do I need to (or should) replace? I don't wanna blow $400 on a bunch of stuff i don't need.

Ray Crowe sold me a gasket kit once that was pretty good. It had the majority of the exterior gaskets including UIM->TB, LIM->UIM, water pump housing, water pump, etc... I can't remember if it include the exhaust manifold gaskets or not.

Anyway, I seem to remember that kit being much less than $400. Give Ray a call and see what he can do for you.
