Default what gasket?

Im going to change my inlet pipe on my2001 jdm sti bug

Iam thinking that if I can lift the inlet manifold up enough, I will have space to fit it.

But what inlet gaskets would I need please?

The inlet manifold to head, or inlet to the tumbler thing.

This is a pic of my inlet






thanks ian

If youre going to lift the manifold anyway then id change both pairs tbh as theres a good chance theyre gonna split anyway, saves doing them again in the future too.

Im in a similar position Ian, if your just looking to replace like for like then you'll need these

Or you could get phenolic spacers to reduce manifold temps.
Speak with Alyn @As performance as i did today, he'll advise whats best for you.

if i was just going to lift the inlet manifold from the tgv, then im guessing that this is the gasket that i would need?

Iirc the bolts go through both the manifold and the tgv so theres a good chance when you lift the manifold the lower gaskets may split too, for the sake of an extra 15 quid get both sets.

If its a silicone pipe your installing then no need to lift the manifold, ive done a few now and theyre easy enough to do.

I took power steering pump off to fit one to mine and it just slid in from front with a bit of wiggling about
