Turbo Gasket name or part number ?

I've been looking for the name/part number of the gasket that goes between the turbo, and the exaust pipe on my car. I've got to the dealerships, and twice ive gotten the wrong part, and they have no idea what Im talking about. (Figures) Its a gasket that is between the turbo, and the exaust pipe (Might be called flex pipe) that goes down to the cat, and so on. If you were to just remove your turbo to swap in a new one or something, its on the bottom side pointing downward in the front of the engine. Hop i left a good despription. Thanks.

Well, the bad news is, you can't get the right gasket because you don't know what you're talking about...From your description I think you're talking about the downpipe gasket..So go to the dealership and tell them you need a downpipe gasket..And for future reference, the downpipe hooks to the O2 housing..then the O2 housing bolts to the turbine housing housing on the turbo...hope this helps, and you should probably get a Haynes manual or the CAPS cd so you don't look like a tool everytime you walk into a dealership and ask for parts...

Thanks. I asked them too look up the downpipe gasket, and they said thats not what I need. They had no clue as in what I was talking about, neigher did I. I asked to see their screen, and they said I wouldnt be able to figure it out. Thanks for the help.
