    Worst case, if the flange is flat, you can use copper spray. You could also cut your own from a sheet of copper, which shouldn't be too hard to find. Good luck.

    hahah nah

    thanks drm but I got it taken care of

    maybe on something else but you can't do that on a turbo, it gets too hot... You can use copper spray but you need something to spray it on, like a used gasket or the like, not straight metal to metal of course. I've used thin cereal box type cardboard shaped into a gasket sprayed with copper on my downpipe before and it didn't work too well haha.

    What I did do is look up every stock car that used a garret t3 that I knew of, old school turbo diesel benzos, z31 turbo nissans, 280z turbos, older volvo 740's, older saab 900's ... And I found one dealership that Had it.... Jim Ellis saab off of peachtree industrial... They had like 4 in stock, it was 11 bux, and its NICE AND THICK too...

    part number was 83 66 262 if anyone needs one in the future

    Glad you found the part number.

    I ran no gaskets and only coper spray on freshly fly-cut surfaces on my turbo car - never a leak.

    when mine finally went bad a loooong time ago, i had called turbonetics to ask if they could ship one overnight, and they said just call any local auto parts store, ask for a 86-88 ford thunderbird SVO/2.3 turbo turbo gasket, it is the same one.

    they were right.
