Replacing gaskets when doing turbo swap

Hey Guys,

So i ordered a BBK Full (Its in the mail...yay exciting!! )

Im trying to be safe and I just wanted to ask some ppl who have done this paticular swap or just a turbo swap altogether.

I am probably gonna get my gaskets from mitsubishiparts.net. I am wondering which gaskets you guys think are critical to replace.

The way i look at it is, your taking the time to take it apart, might as well be safe then sorry!

Here are the ones i know to replace:

-o2housing to turbo
-turbo to manifold
-exhaust manifold gasket

Any others you think are critical/important ?

Thanks!

I would replace all of them, BUT with OEM gaskets. DO NOT USE aftermarket/similar gaskets. I've had aftermarket gaskets burn up and blow apart, then I had to go back and buy the OEM one again.

Add a can of copper spray to that as well.

any oil drain/feed gaskets or crush washers would be a good idea to replace.
