I was warned off using this type of manifold gasket,cheap but not cheerful.Now I see why.I would stick with the original type,often on ebay,about £12 plus p&p,but worth it. 'Where does the engine go?' |

Composite gaskets will de-laminate like that where they are not trapped/compressed properly.

I was thinking that is where the problem is Rod I cannot get the full washers in there as it’s too tight! I have had to grind a spanner down a bit to get in at 2 of the nuts. I have started posting on Instagram also my name on there is turbomk1golf

You want the paper type with metal rings on the exhaust ports. I used to get no end of hassle with the other style of gasket! |

I used the same as Ron, but as also said above the flange on the inlet and outlet look different thicknesses, and could be a contributing factor.. |

I think I will need to find some Locating Rings for the inlet flanges. Also see if I can fit the big washers on there but I will have to dent the manifold to get the nuts in.:( I have started posting on Instagram also my name on there is turbomk1golf

That one I use is steel backed and has the crush rings for the exhaust ports. I love them. I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

I have found the type of gasket you use total shit, In my experience they last ten minutes at best.

A bit of a hi-jack, but anyone know how big is the diameter of the holes for the inlet ports on both MS turbo and injection gaskets are? Dazed and Confused.... |
