Ive only got the wastegate housing to refit to my turbo, there didnt appear to be a seal between it and the turbo, is this right? what do people use?

Obviously there is the one on the exhaust elbow.

Will paste do the job as it looks a good machined finish or should i just leave it?

Last bit ive got left to do now!

there is a much better thread grease available called neversieze. the one to look out for is the "nuclear grade" which can take temps of upto 1000 degrees F.
