car started dropping off boost, takes for ever to spool, runs like poop and only thing i can think of is the gaskets on the wastegate gone bad. Seeing as the car is 300 miles away from me, i was just going to order them and have them sent home.

So if any one has a set of copper gaskets that would be cool, if not lead me to a website

IIRC the gaskets are SCE part# 4150. I purchased mine from Summit, but there's a handful of sources out there.

Thanks Ken!

its common that the tial gaskets blow out correct? not the adapter plate gasket?

The paper ones from Tial are known to do that.

do you need copper ones? i have a tial that im installing this weekend and was going to use the ones that came with it. bad idea?

definetley get the copper gaskets. The paper ones will blow out in short order. Ask me how I know.

hally

mine blew also, made up some copper ones.

JE_951

do many shops carry these? or are they special order parts?

could i go to a place like napa or schucks for these?

Ian Carr

advanced auto parts MAYBE... napa and other places like that i wouldn't think they would have them.. Any performance shop would be able to get them

"Paper" gaskets get such a bad rap, they work just fine. 6k of hard miles and she looks like a baby.

Copper will still get etched if your fasteners loosen.

Ian Carr

well mine blew out after about 8k miles....

ibkevin

the point is... secure your fasteners...

should you install the adaptors to the tial first or the adaptors to the pipe?
