T78 gaskets needed

Anyone have a lead for T78 outlet to downpipe gasket and exhaust manifold to wastegate gasket? This is a 3rd gen setup, FWIW. I've had the downpipe in and out a few times plumbing a Tial wastegate and would like to install new gaskets while I am reworking the system.

Thanks....

Hey, Vosko...
Two of my Greddy wastegate studs spun when I was installing my latest engine this spring. I tried to install oversize studs and tack them in with nickle rod, but heat distortion made the valve stick, yadda-yadda. I decided to move to a Tial instead of giving Greddy $900 for their unit. Tial make a very nice piece plus it is American made.

any local greddy dealer should be able to order those gaskets but i bet their gonna take a while to get because you know efficient greddy usa is

No kidding. That was why I thought I would ask. Greddy is useless when it comes to customer service.

if you call greddy direct they can send a parts list you can just bring that in to a greddy dealer and order the part that way. that's probably the easiest way to do it

I've got the part numbers but was looking for someone who had them in stock. greddy will ot tell you that. I asked.

I tried to explain 'SOME' of us actually take our cars to the track every couple of weeks and need parts' like... now'.... That concept seemed a little over their heads.

what you can't wait like 4 months ???? what's wrong with you ?? greddy is retarded they got mad at me because the intercooler i bought from them was missing a pipe. needless to say i got in a big argument with the president of greddy usa. haha. that was a good one. the only thing i did wrong was buy a greddy product. i think he got a little upset when i told charles @ greddy that ... haha, he wanted me to remove my entire installed fmic and send it to him in california so i could get the intercooler pipe they neglected to give me. obviously superior customer service

Steve,

Thanks. I ended up with the Tials from SR Motorsports and the T78s from Ari at Rotary Performance. Both vendors were very helpful. It is good to know you can access them as they need replacing from time to time when you take the dowwnpipe in and out a lot.

best regards!
