Hey everyone
Took down the Evo3 16G to replace the o2 housing since I'm ready for some good boost! Engine is pretty much broken in and no problems.
Realizing how much of a PITA it was, I don't want to do this again anytime soon if a leak develops. I'll be working a new job soon and won't really have time for that.
SO after about 2 days of good searching I found some good candidates for exhaust gaskets, and wouldn't ya know the most expensive
Let me know any suggestions or tips, like I said I don't want to pull everything again right away if it leaks. And DEFINITIVELY don't want anything cracking apart falling into the turbo
So using the part numbers and buying from JNZ, I'm thinking this-
OEM 4 layer exhaust to manifold
EXTREME PSI : Your #1 Source for In Stock Performance Parts
OEM Evo3 16G 7cm 4 layer gasket
Turbine Housing Inlet Gasket (DSM) - Modern Automotive Performance
I'll reuse all these gaskets with some hi temp copper RTV
turbo/o2, o2/adapter, adapter/DP
