Up pipe is not worth changing IMO. Fuel pump will need an upgrade and remap.

Gaskets that you will need above, in regards to bolts you can use you current bolts.

Up pipe IS worth changing IMO, seen a distinct drop in rpm spool time when changed for a Harvey Smith item, a lot of other people will say the same thing, it does help but people make he mistake of thinking bigger is better when that is not the case a proper up pipe coupled to a vf28 should see around 500rpm quicker spool

I can confirm the above,,,

Harvey's matched up pipe was a miracle.
My VF28 started spooling 400-500 rpm earlier since fitting it altogether with matched standard unequal length manifold..

I was buying the gaskets from Importcarparts.co.uk

Here you've got the up-pipe to turbo gasket

Here is a downpipe kit, with bolts and gasket...
