JX gasket between turbo and exhaust manifold

Post by maz-o »

I know there's not originally fitted a gasket between the stock K14 turbo and the exhaust manifold. Would it be beneficial to add one since I'm taking it apart and replacing other stuff too? I'm pretty sure I have exhaust leaks all over the place.

I see these gaskets sold on ebay and other places online, specificallyfor the JX engine, like this:

Any thoughts on that? Thanks!

I found that both surfaces can warp and corrode so it can be useful if resurfacing not an option
