In your experiance which type of turbo to manifold gaskets last the longest? I seem to be going through the stainless ones, and find the copper ones never seal.

Never seen a compost gasket before lol. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

I just use a bit of exhaust sealing lube, both surfaces are nice and machined flat so I never felt the need to use a gasket.
