Use turbo gasket on divorced DP?

Installing my stock placement GTX30 right now and in putting it back together it dawned on me... should I even use the Turbo -> DP gasket? I'm running an UR 02 eliminator DP and it is completely divorced (not bellmouth style). If you use the oem gasket there would technically be a gap between the wastegate hole and the turbine hole outlet causing it not to be completely divorced? Again, because the gasket is a bellmouth type.

I tried doing some searching and only found one guy that mentions to NOT use the OEM gasket with a divorced DP because it would beat the purpose and there shouldnt be any leak issues. I wanted to get some advice before bolting everything up only to have to pull it all back off cause of a turbo-to-DP leak. Thanks for the help

Get a divorced gasket to be safe, just in case that internal leak causes some weird turbulence. Since your in WA call Michael at ETS, he should be able to get you one quick...
