Hi, newby question here, i'm in the middle of doing a hi-comp conversion, is there a gasket in between the exhaust turbine housing & wastegate housing??? If so, does anyone know where you can pick up one??? Have searched Egay and so on, haven't come across it yet???? Cheers!

No there is not a gasket for the dump pipe, i have always just used a little bit of exhaust sealant & never had any leaks
