As above.
What have most of you done when swapping a Turbo.
Have you replaced the Down-pipe & Up-pipe gaskets ? or are they good for a few changes, seeing aas they are made from layered steel Etc

Bought some new ones, As you all say, How p!$$ed off would i be for it to blow afterwards
& as i have now found out It's not the most straight forward of jobs Although re-assembly was much quicker than Dis-assembly
Cheers All.

i stupidly paid dealer price for a downpipe gasket when I should have bought one online for half the price, but I wanted to get the job done that weekend. The old downpipe gasket must have been on there years because the standard exhaust was rotted and holed in places. Despite this the downpipe gasket was in really good shape, so much so the exhaust fitters gave it back to me to keep and said 'you could use that again with a smear of fire gum mate'. If I was doing the job myself I can totally see I would have reused the old one and taken the new one for a £36 refund or whatever it cost. I say have a new one on standby but if the old one is reusable why not?
