Default Do Newage cars have a Turbo to Downpipe Gasket?

Can someone please confirm that the Newage Impreza (Bugeye anyway) does NOT have a gasket between the turbo and the downpipe.

Changed my downpipe a while back and there was definately NO gasket.

Thanks

Mark.

Does it depend on which turbo you have as to whether or not you have a gasket?

Is it a different turbo on the STI - I just have the WRX.

Its a different turbo but it doesnt matter, there should always be a gasket, leaking exhaust gas on uppipe or downpipe is a no no

You're blimmin RIGHT! Just rang my dealer and he confirmed there should be a gasket either side of the downpipe.

Mine didn't have one on it! I've been driving around for 6 months without a turbo/downpipe gasket and didn't even know it
