Copper crush gasket
 
So me and a couple of friends were putting my turbo back on this evening and we got everything bolted in and tightened down to spec. I was cleaning the garage floor and found a copper crush gasket, which I knew came off the larger coolant line on the turbo.. So I have one of the two crush washers on it now and one not.. is it guaranteed to leak or should I be okay?

Put in on now before its an issue, it may not leak up front but likely it will at the most inconvenient time...

I was hoping you'd it would be alright hah. It's the banjo bolt that's under the manifold closest to the block

If it looks scored any or if it has a lot of miles then I would replace it.

It's in great shape, just forgot to put one of the two on and was wondering if it would be alright for a little while until I upgrade turbos

I wouldn't chance it. If not properly sealed a leak will begin in due time.

You should throw it on. But if its not leaking coolant once hot and with radiator cap on under pressure, then you should be ok.

Just replaced this on my car while putting in my turbo kit in. I wouldn't chance it those are typically a one time use washer hence why it's crushed. Just buy a couple so when you upgrade your turbo u have a spare ready. Plus it's very simple to get at and replace.

FYI mine did leak after trying to reuse the original

Just had simple question, I wasn't spamming to get my post count up.. I couldn't care less what my post number is at, I just didn't want to have any problems with my car since removing a turbo an manifold are a pain for normal people.
