Just bought one off the bay.I ordered the normal turbo gasket,but what turned up was slightly different,and according to the seller is how they come these days.Although the basic construction is the same,the metal which reinforces the exhaust ports is formed from a continuous sheet on the back side. The other visual difference is that at the ends where only one edge is cut off at an angle.
Does anyone have any experience of these,are they from some other spec.engine,but mostly will they stand up to the abuse from my engine?????
Any advice would be much appreciated.The seller has offered a refund but I thought I would check on here first.

Sounds like an injection one to me. They work great.

They usually are stamped manifold side on them somewhere.

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

Hi John,thanks for that,it does indeed look like an injection gasket,although there is no stamp to indicate the manifold side.However,these are about £4.50 from Minispares vs 11.50 for the turbo gasket which they now have back on stock.So I've ordered the real thing and will return the injection gasket I paid £12 for!
