Wastegate Gasket?

Ok I got my 40mm Tial in and went to put it on my 02 housing. I noticed it didnt come with a gasket. Do I need one?

I would believe you do. But im not 100% sure. But metel on metel doesnt seal well. Thats why there is gaskets on the rest of everything. So im saying yes

I would say the same but I think Ive read of people not using them so I dunno...

the tolerances on the tial 40mm are machined so well that it makes a perfect seal. no need for a gasket. over time you might need one as metal contracts and expands due to heat and eventually might make gaps which in therefore you would then need a gasket. im sure your local exhaust shop can make you one.
