Turbo xs downpipe

So I was installing the downpipe and noticed there is a gasket to connect to the cat but no gasket for the turbo end. Does anyone know if it is suppose to come like this.

I have already installed the part and thought there was a leak. I could here something new coming from my motor and realized it was my turbo spooling up faster My boost gauge still hits about 19 psi and feathers down to like 15-16 up to redline.

my stock downpipe didnt have a gasket at the turbo end. I thought that was very weird but judging by my boost gauge it doesn't seem like there is any leaks. with a downpipe and catback will I need a lvl colder spark plugs or a boost controller? Or is my car ok the way its runnin?

no you do not need colder plugs. Since you do not have a signature i can not tell you to buy a boost controller. If i were you, i would buy a drop in filter, hfc/test pipe, boost controller. Then get a tune.
