So i bought one of these gaskets because mine was shot. I was under the hood tightening down the turbo bolts and to my surprise one of them broke....fudge! So ah well leave it alone another week goes by pop the hood again to tighten down the 3 of 4. ANOTHER ONE haha. So i ordered ARP bolts and this gasket. Good thing when i pulled apart the turbo from the mani it pretty much fell apart like a cracker haha.

Got the gasket and bolts in like 2 days to my home address. No problems, everything was packaged very nice and i was ready to go! Got everything back together fired up the car and NO leaks what so ever. The copper gasket rocks and has a lip on the inside so even if bolts get a lil loose this thing will compensate!

However after i fired it up my exhaust to manifold gasket is shot so i ordered one of those too because it's made with the same idea.

Seriously guys if you are having exhaust leaks and have stud problems or loose bolts order this. It's worth the money and it's too easy to install. Your DSM deserves it!:thumb:

I tried the turbo gasket twice installed straight up. Worked great at first, but didn't last long under DD conditions.

Maybe these work better with copper spray?
 
welp we will see how it goes i'll be testing this for everyone i'll say that -

I'm running big 16g at 18 psi. dd and i do get on it every day!
 
I'm currently using their head to exhaust mani gasket. I've ran it for 2 summers now, daily driven. It does seal fine when torqued correctly but I have had an issue with the nuts backing off after being torqued correctly several times. I've never had this issue with any of the multi layer steel (I believe) gaskets I've used in the past.
