I ordered an all copper gasket from SCE that is made specifically for wastegates. The P/N is 4150 and fits the Tial wastegates used in the RoadRace turbo kits. So far so good and no leaks! Cost is under $5 and shouldn't have another blow out again! Go get them! You can order them straight from SCE or through Summit racing I believe as well.

Also, while on the copper gasket subject. Same company makes a two-bolt collector flange gasket as well. I needed to ream the holes out a little for the bolts to align up, but no leaks in both places as well. (Header to up pipe, and turbo downpipe to flex pipe) Can't remember what the part number is but if you go to Summit's web site and search for collector gaskets, look for the 2-bolt ones. 2 1/2" inner diameter.

 

nice, thanks dookie, i'll keep this in mind once my gaskets start goin

 

NP.... Thought I would share some useful info to other peeps around the boards....I'll be sure to let you guys know if they start leaking...

 

mine always leaked before when i had the original gasket in it. i actually took it out and tightened it up and it hasnt leaked since.
