I took off my turbo, throttle body, exhaust manifold, o2 housing, and intake manifold to check for cracks and obvious boost leaks. Where is the best place to get gaskets? It's a 97 GSX with Greddy 18g turbo kit, SBR exhaust manifold, stock intake manifold, stock throttle body, and stock o2 housing. Thanks!
 
I get all my stock size gaskets from rockauto.com. They sell felpro and other ok brands. They're usually cheaper. As far as for aftermarket, I just browse the vendor list on tuners for the best deals.
 
I've used ExtremePSI extensively, as well as Mach V and RRE. I'd advise against going cheap with gaskets, as I very recently learned.

Thought I'd save a few bucks and get a VC gasket kit off of eBay. After finding oil in one of my spark plug wells, I got a FelPro kit and replaced the crappy eBay kit.
 
I'm a big fan of JNZ tuning and STM. They both have a huge selection of OEM parts and great customer service.

As far the head gasket, You HAVE to get both decks, head and block, resurfaced to get a good seal with a MLS (Multi-layer steel) head gasket. If you are not going to do this then get an OEM Mitsubishi composite head gasket.

Hope this helps!
