Exhaust side of turbo?

The gasket where the vband bolts up to yhe exhaust side.

If its a proper v band it shouldnt need a gasket. But a small smear of some copper gasket hi temp should be fine.

[Bloodyaussie]

Ya sure there is no gasket??

I dont mean the vband itself but where it bolts too the turbo??

I know how much you like??????????

[nissannewby]

So you have a 2 piece turbine housing? A v band part that is bolted to back of turbo?

Yes that is correct..

[nissannewby]

Yes that is correct..

Ok. Just use some hi temp sealant. I have bolted a couple together with nothing and they have been fine. How many bolts hold the flange on?

Thats similar to mine, I dont have a gasket and it doesn't leak, they are machined surfaces. If you can find a gasket it wont hurt. But while it is apart just make sure the surfaces are flat
