Yes, any turbo vendors should have them.

I just used a bead of blue RTV, I let it dry a bit before putting the j-pipe on though so it didnt squeez all out. I boost leak tested my car to 20psi with no leaks there.

or you can buy some gasket maker from any auto stores and make the gasket yourself

Any Mitsu dealership will have them too. It's the same gasket between the j-pipe and the 14b on any 1G.... I had a cracked gasket on my old 14b and it leaked. Then I tried RTV with no luck. Just spend the .75 at the dealership and you'll have no problems.

a 14b and 16g use the same compressor housing so yes you can use the same one.
