Gasket between turbo and downpipe

[jtlctr]

I’ll be installing a downpipe soon when I take my car out of storage and I’d rather not have any surprises. The new downpipe only includes the downpipe to front pipe gasket, which I assume means that the turbo to downpipe gasket is reusable.

Have any of you had a leak after reusing the original gasket?

Does the company that sold you the downpipe offer the other gasket? The company that I purchased the downpipe from had the other gasket available so I grabbed it , better safe than sorry.

The factory gasket is metal and typically re-used. If you did want to replace the gasket, we have them available here:

A quick look there will explain why most people don't fool with them.

Thanks for the info! I saw the price before, which is why I’m curious. I think I’ll just cross my fingers!

my turbo to FP gasket is on its 4th reuse, and as far as I can tell, it’s not leaking.

downpipe I ordered from comes with a front pipe gasket from the looks of it. only time will tell though but I put my trust in TSP
