Wastegate Housing
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi does anybody know if there is supposed to be a gasket between the wastegate housing and exhaust housing, because I'm pretty sure mine didnt have one, and its time for it to go back on, and the 2 mating surfaces flat enough to not need one or something? I just find it odd that the elbow, and turbo intake have one and not this?

Any help would be great,

Cheers, Kav

between the exhaust elbow and the turbo there should be one, about £4 from avonbar.

between the wastegate and the turbo theres no need

Ah rite, so there never was one there then? just wondering if my turbo's been apart before, also got a new elbow gasket but its quite a cheapo one that gets compressed, might use the old one, or will that be worse?

Cheers for the reply, Kav

Now im confused!? I hav just fitted my turbo elbow to my turbo (T2) without a gasket, as when I removed the renault fitment elbow there was no gasket, is this wrong?
Cheers

theyre probably not essential, but as std, the t3 on metros comes with one

i just made sure mine were flat and fitted with a little exhaust paste. doesnt appear to leak at all.
