Why is the bolt missing? I'd also address the issue of the missing bolt and make sure it doesnt happen again before replacing the gasket.
You can get the o2 housing gasket from vendors here or Mitsubishi.
And do yourself a favor. Absolutely do not over tighten those bolts! I have a bad habit of that and with the heat and pressure they seize and bolts break when I need to remove them.

Sorry man I'm just tryin to learn. I found the gasket and got the size of bolts I need from a dealer. I'm pretty pissed because I bought the car back in Dec. and I KNOW that gasket had to be goin bad and the guy I bought it from didn't say anything. The hardware is gone. I don't know where but it was only on one stud when I looked at it

watch out bro... the autozone orielly's hardware normally isnt intended to extreme temps like the o2 housing has to deal with. they will either lock into the housing or snap off when you pull them.
make sure you use permatex high temp thread antiseize its like 5 bucks at autozone for a big jar... and if you can chase the thread on the turbo with a tap kit before you put in the new bolts...
the other day i changed my turbo oil line and when i went to reinstall the bolts one locked mid way and ****ed the threads... that was without all the bs that yours have been threw...
best of luck

o2 housing gasket = MR299686
o2 housing bolts MD062961 = uses 3 of these
o2 housing studs MR224441 = uses 2 of these
nut for studs MD050073 = uses 2 of these
washers for studs MD132933 = entire turbo area turbine housing area uses 9 of these but the o2 housing area only uses 5.

if one of the studs is broken off and u install it with just 3 bolts and 1 nut ur gonna have more than a small exhaust leak. And thats a place you don't want to have a leak. I left one of those bolts loose one time and could see fumes pouring out of the hood vent. You need to have all 5 on there man, dont skimp
