Turbo Install

Hi I need a quick answer is there a gasket between the exhaust manifold and the turbo and on the outlet to the exhaust pipe
I dont see any in book but just checking.
Thanks

On mine (not necessarily normal, being in a motorhome), there is a gasket between the turbo and the manifold (That is normal). On mine, the turbo exhaust dumps directly into flex pipe.

There is usually a metal gasket between the manifold and the turbo. No gasket at the down pipe. It's a v-band flange connection that doesn't need a gasket.

no gasket on mine...it was original equipment when I broke mine down.

Come to think of it, they don't have a gasket from the factory. Every turbo shop that I've ever dealt with, though, has thrown in a metal gasket with a new or rebuilt turbo.
