Turbo Oil return line gasket and Manifold install tricks

Hey I got a question, I ordered a new oil return line and the guy at mitsu messed up and didn't order the top gasket (the one that connects the line to the turbo.) I went to napa and got some gasket material, just wanted to make sure that this will work.

Secondly, I have to install my exhaust manifold as well and its always a pain, I wanted to know if anyone had any tricks to make the install easier, thanks for the help!

I would use the bottom line gasket on the turbo side and use the gasket material at the oil pan. just incase it leaks it would be easier to fix at the oil pan.

I thought about doing that, it would work because I did get another one of those and now I have 2, but the thing is that the bottom is made out of metal, while the top is a brown colored composite style gasket. I have a roll of felpro rubber fiber gasket material, would that work, I also bought some gasket sealant too.

Just use some ATV or Hondabond or the gasket, worked great. As far as getting the manifold and turbo in the car, try seperate them. Put the turbo in and put the manifold in then lightly bolt them together. Or you can do it the right way by pulling out the radiator.

I have the gasket material to make a new gasket, I just wanted to make sure that it could withstand the temperature of being right on the turbo. My plan is to make a new gasket and put on some gasket sealant on it as well.
