Turbo Flange to Down pipe. Is there a gasket?
Is there supposed to be a gasket between the turbo flange and the down pipe flange when using an Ultimate-Racing down pipe?
My UR exhaust came the other day, and when I opened it up last night, I noticed that there was no gasket for the downpipe to turbo flange surface. I did order the exhaust system with all its gaskets, and the other gaskets were there. There was a nut and bolt through one of the holes like they meant to hang a gasket there, but no gasket.

You can just re-use the odd shaped Turbo -> O2/DP gasket that is on the car now. It's a heavy duty metal gasket and will be fine so none of the aftermarket pipes include that as far as I know. Since the new O2/DP doesn't have a stud facing the driver side rear most hole, you use the new bolt and nut for that location.

Install is done. I took a lot of pictures. That one bolt left half its threads in the turbo, but it was not a big issue. Lots of room to run a tap through it on the car. I'll post a thread with pics later.
