I'll be running this hotside:

I was looking for a few gaskets, I found one with a hole for both the exhaust and wg flow, and one for just the exhaust but I could cut-out the wastegate hole. I spoke to SRT and they said to use red silicone, but I researched online and it says that it's only rated to 650* and won't hold...

Clarification?


P.S.- Can anyone else make threads with questions aside from me? Lol

The red silicone works but not as a permanent solution. It will last a while then blow away. I'd buy the gasket made for both the exhaust and WG.

I think I'll end up going with that

So is this turbo a internally gated turbo?

If anyone is looking for a crazy high temp gasket and wants a perfect seal and can't find anything, Remflex offers sheets of their graphite material for cut to fit any application, this stuff is unreal,pm Rbsjnh

^definitely good to know.

I've done the red gasket and it does blow out after time. And for me it wasn't a long time :/

^ Let's elaborate on Remflex gaskets. They seem to be the standard in terms of boosted setups.
