I recently picked up an aftermarket 02 housing that has the wastegate dumped to atmosphere and i am having trouble locating a gasket for it. I need the gasket to go between the 02 housing and turbo but obviously the stock one i could not use because it has the divider wall cut out . I called up one company i know and they sell the gasket, im just not financially in the position to spend $30 on that gasket right now when i need another $100 for the rest of the stuff to do this simple install. If anyone knows of a company that sells this gasket for a real price.. considering the oem stock one is $9 and all the difference is i need the divider wall. or if anyone knows of where i can get copper/metal gasket paper to make my own gasket ( which id rather not since this isnt even that big of a deal).. i know for Dsm's i can get the gasket with the divider wall for like $10, idk why with evo's this has to be such a big deal


let me know if you guys have any ideas
If not im just gonna have to put the install off till i can get up the money to spend $30 on it

thanks

Don't use any gasket. I had mine installed without it. No leaks. Just make sure you tighten the five bolts as tight as possible. Good luck.

 

na i ordered the gasket from an ebay seller.. made one with the divider wall there

ive ran no gasket on my dsm and it was decent but overtime leaked.. rather not have that with the evo..


soo what do u think im gonna need to remove to install this 02 housing??? can i get to all the bolts with just taking off both heat sheilds and pulling the radiator?

 

Contact MAPerformance for a gasket. They are having stainless steel gaskets (not the cheap crappy Chinese ones that burn out within a matter of weeks) made for use with their external dump o2 elim downpipes and I'm sure they'd sell you just a gasket for a lot cheaper than $30. Otherwise, if you want absolute dirt-cheap, you can get a Megan/eBay/Chinese gasket for a few bucks that'll burn out and need replacing. Those cheap gaskets work fine downstream in the catback section, but they just can't handle the heat being so close to the turbo/engine.

 

just use some high temp silicone and call it a day,, you don't need a gasket..

just don't use a lot so you don't have a lot of red **** to clean up.

don't rewrite whats been written.

 

anyone have any suggestions on the fastest and cheapest installation of an aftermarket 02 housing on an evo????? ive read many posts and installs but if someone has a personal easy/fast suggestion that would save me time and money id rather go that way
