Don't use cheap turbo gaskets
My Evo developed a loud ticking noise. I thought it was my lifters but discovered that it has a blown manifold-turbo gasket.

My used OEM gasket is still decent. The cheapo gasket looked like an OEM gasket new but after 5k miles, it has totally degraded. I pulled my turbo-O2 gasket as well since it was a $15 non-OEM item as well. It was started to degrade as well. Lesson learned. Buy OEM turbo gaskets! |
