I think it is but bloody rusty.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

Does a bit

Certainly doesnt look like anything I'd want near a turbocharger

I'd say its a non HIF float chamber gasket.

Looks far too corky to be used on a manifold.

it sealed well! i think it might be from a T3 elbow then thanks for working it out,
does anyone know is it ok to run without one?

i went to a local gaskets place called 'Dobsons Gaskets' yesterday who make custom gaskets and pretty much most of the uk's head gaskets (except the new cars) and they said they could make me 5 new ones from metal, but it would cost £25. Ill try an avonbar exhaust elbow gasket,

thanks for the feedback :) :)

hey no i have a T28, but my turbo and exhaust housing is all made up out of the smallest parts i could find,
my turbo exhaust housing is an M4 but theres not much info out on the internet about it, and it seems that its quite a rare 3 stud exhaust housing end plate on mine,



i might have mixed and matched some metro turbo bits maybe thats why.
oh well at

I've probably got a spare T3 exhaust elbow gasket in the garage if you want me to stick it in the post for you.

It certainly is not made from cork though. Like all of the turbo associated gaskets that I have, it's metal.

PM me your address if you want it.
