Graphite Turbo Gasket for TurboII

[ungrave]

I wanted to see if anyone has tried this graphite turbo gasket on a TurboII. I ordered it and when it arrived I was surprised how flimsy it feels. It's easily bendable with just your fingers. I'd rather not have to pull my manifolds and turbo twice. Anybody use this one before? Or have a better gasket suggestion? New OEM gaskets are about $50.

Thanks

Well, I tried to find out the structure of the gasket but no descriptive info.

Good ones are graphite core with elastomer coating. Cheaper version of "graphite" gaskets are of aluminum core with graphite coating.

Hope this helps!

Never have I used them, let us know how it works out for you.

If you can find the dimensions, there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to cut your own. It should certainly be a lot cheaper for you.
