magnus heat barrier gasket

[DsM KiD4]

Will the oem intake mani bolts fit with the magnus heat barrier gasket? If so, do all 4g63 heads use the same size intake mani bolts? Just makin sure i get everything i need. Thanks

Yes the gaskets are the same set up as factory gaskets just plastic and thicker. They work very well i run it on mine! And i beleive all the 1g heads have the same studs and the 2g have all the same size bolt except they dont have the 2 inlarged studs at the ends.

I'd also recommend using two OEM/Felpro gaskets inbetween for best seal, it was recommended to me by Marco and have yet to have a boost leak

Thats good to know i was in the market to get one too, a bit concerned about boots leaks.

I run a 1g Magnus heat barrier gasket also. When I installed it I put a thin layer of gray RTV on both sides of the gasket to make sure it sealed properly. Never had any boost leak issues, even over 25 psi.

This is what I did, did any of you guys have to retighten them after a few heat cycles?

I run mine without any other gaskets or rtv and it held just fine no leaks. I did after about 100 miles retorque the nuts, and do so every so often. I run 30psi consistantly and have ran up to 45 a few times as well. But a lil rtv is a nice precaution.

I run mine dry and with no other gaskets. I just check the bolts every now and then to make sure they are still tight.

No boost leaks after 5k miles and no loose bolts (I use Loctite blue gel on almost everything).

The magnus gasket that I've is some type of plastic. It'll crush to seal. If you use a true phenolic material, like the spacer I run, you definitely need an OEM gasket on either side of it which already comes with a viton coating. RTV isn't recommended, I don't use RTV anywhere on my car anymore since it extrudes out too much. I use hylomar blue instead which will reseal itself if the manifold lifts off or shifts and can allow the OEM gasket to be reused over and over without reapplication. I've used this stuff to seal a very high pressure water manifold that was lifting off and pushing the sealing o-ring out of its gland. The hylomar eliminated that problem.
