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.
