Turbo Gasket Question

[tom1995tsi]

Ok I have a few questions, im removing my exhaust manifold, turbo, and o2 sensor housing. What gaskets will i need to buy to put them back on. And also what does an o2 sensor wrench look like? Thanks for the help.

you will need...
engine to manifold gasket
manifold to turbo gasket
turbo to O2 housing gasket

And, a O2 sensor socket doesnt work that good if your sensor is tight, because it just expands and wont turn the sensor. I would recommend getting the proper sized crows foot

A 7/8 flare-wrench works well for removing my o2 sensor.

You can probably re-use the exhaust system gaskets, if they're i good shape. I re-used the exh. mani. to head gasket, and had no problems with it. The mani. to turbo, and O2 housing gaskets could have been re-used also, but I got them with the install kit so I replaced them. You will need oil return line gasket(s), and new crush washers for the water line banjo bolts if you remove them. You can rent a set of O2 sensor wrenches for cheap from an auto parts store, and a torque wrench too, for a few bucks.

Yes, but there are gaskets on both ends of the line, and 2 bolts on each end. at the oil pan and the turbo. They are the same gasket.

What type of gaskets are they? Can I buy them at an auto parts store? Cause they didnt have the turbo mounting gaskets anywhere. Or are they a generic type gasket?

You can get 'em from a dealer or one of the vendors on this site.http://www.slowboyracing.com/DIY/gaskets/Mitsu. oil gaskets/mitsu_oil_gasket.html
