Hi all,
Sorry for asking the same question as I asked about 2 years ago…
I need a gasket for my Greddy turbo/manifold , does anyone know the Mazda part no. for it ( it believe it is the same as another model). I know someone does as I got the info from here a couple of years ago and stupidly didn’t order 3 from Mazda!
Blew another one today.
Cheers - Paul
Thanks, and do you know I looked for that before I posted… your search skills are better than mine. Cheers - Geoff!

It depends who you ask but many advocate not using any gasket between the turbo and manifold, if it isn’t there, it can’t blow it !
Yeah, good point! It seems to be the only weak point on my set up.
Have a read up but I was surprised when I took an AVO turbo kit apart not to find one and then I found out that many advocate not bothering, including Corky IIRC.
Providing the mating surfaces are machined flat and are in the correct alignment, then you could get away with a smear of exhaust gasket cement. I worked on a Massey Ferguson Turbo tractor a few years ago and discovered that all Massey tractors leave the factory with no gaskets on the machine. All the joints are made with the appropriate hermetite jointing compound.

I need one of these too, but also I need an engine to manifold gasket. Would that be the standard non-turbo part?
That’s certainly what I use and have never had a problem.
