what gaskets/bolts do i need for fp black install?

I will be installing a fp black on my evo9.
It will come with WG as well as oil line. I will be swapping the o2 housing as well as manifold during this install
I was wondering what gaskets/bolts I would need to purchase in advance to do the install.
Thanks

The ones you already have. You don't have to replace any of the bolts or gaskets, just re-use the current ones.

yes i understand that i dont have to....
but with 500+WHP i do want to replace the gaskets that are more prone to break than others.
id rather spend couple bucks now than to have to deal with a leak later on.

???

Dude, i am speaking from experience, since I use these on mine. The FP black is a stock frame turbo and does not require special attachments or gaskets. The OEM gaskets and fasteners are perfectly capable of holding 500+hp. If you want confirmation, call any of the top shops and ask them if they didn't use the OEM bolts and gaskets.

Call FP and buy a gasket kit. you might as well replace the two copper crush washers on each of the water lines and get new oil drain tube gaskets and copper crush washers for the oil line banjo. That's All you need. you might as well replace them since it only costs a few bucks.

If you ask, Robert will even get you the mitsu oem parts and gaskets. He has gaskets that he makes that he can also send you (ie like the manifold - turbo, or turbo - o2 housing gaskets). Id just do that if you don't want to look up the part #'s in the part # thread or look on Mitsubishiparts.net
