EPM O2 dump gasket
I recently bought a used EPM dump, but USPS ended up crushing the box during shipping and consequently crushed and messed the gasket all up to the point where I don't think I can use it anymore. Does anyone know what kind of gasket EPM ships their dumps with, or if Advance Auto/NAPA would even sell such a gasket? I know I can't use the stock one, so that's out of the question.
Also, does a typical auto store sell the donut gaskets for the DP?

I was reading on here when I searched that you cannot use the stock gasket with the EPM dump. Q himself from EPM confirmed that in a thread. Are you running the EPM dump? It doesn't appear so in your sig?

I was on a break from meetings and I got a chance to log on and caught this. Wait a second so if you use a stock OEM gasket you will hear exhaust leak from the dump tube? So the dump is supposed to be 100% silent during idle?

I recently got the epm dump from awdm, should I use the gasket included? My friend works for a shop and looked at the gasket and thinks it'll blow out.. Should I just use my gasket maker and skip the included gasket?

This thread is hurting my brain... I would think you would know how a part works before buying it... The purpose of a o2 dump is to expell the wastegate gasses out of the exhaust system when it opens. And since the wastegate only opens when you reach a certain boost level like 18psi for me, you should not hear/feel exhaust coming out of that dump pipe at all until the wastegate opens...
