Default problem w/ the greddy TT already and not even installed...

damn gaskets are a one time use. well the shop didnt relize it till they went to put it on and the bolts and the gaskets where all torn and beat up after ripping it off another car to put on mine ( yeah i bought it used with couple miles on it so what) but greddy said it will take up to 7 weeks to get a shipment of gaskets to the shop. how rediculous is that?

not that it hasnt been in the shop getting the lambo doors on, exhaust came in this friday (HKS TI) and the NX 2 10lb bottles and of coarse purge kit.

anyone ever heard of 'intense' down pipes? well if you didnt you did now...i got them. suposidly good 2 3/4 diameter...w/e damn greddy and its one use gaskets...

anyone have some NOT used!! or know where i can get them!!



wow...

Repost this thread in the Forced induction forum, there are tons of guys that hang out in there that know alot about the stuff your asking about. Someone there might know of where you can find some gaskets and fast. That sucks waiting on parts when your all ready to go.

Which gaskets you need, the turbo gaskets ? Pm me and let me know, the shop that does all my work for some reason had a bunch of them in stock when they redid my motor. They should still have some sitting around.

Are you talking about the paper wastegate gaskets? I have 2 used ones off of my car that are still in usable condition.

If you are talking about the wastegate gaskets you can order Deltagate Turbonetics gaskets which will fit. They are always in stock somewhere or can be drop shipped next day..

It's hard to tell, but I thought he was referring to the 3 bolt turbo gaskets (need two for each side). Maybe he can clarifiy.

i have reused mine with no probs at all. but for the most part i don't even use gaskets anymore. just make sure the surfaces are flat, and put a very thin bead of high temp rtv in there. never had a prob going that way.
