    What gasket do I use?

    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.

    So is this turbo a internally gated turbo?

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