I use anaerobic sealer on the drain gasket- that way, you'll never have to scrape off old gaskets ever again.

The turbo to manifold gasket it reuseable, kind of. Put it on and see if you get any leaks.

The Dodge dealer has new ones for an OK price...

I would not reuse the manifold gasket, it crushes to seal and they often leak on the second try.

use them. I put some high temp silicone on the manifold gasket everytime, changed my turbos 4 times and no leaks. And for the oil drain just cut your own gasket out of the gasket paper stuff, and put some gasket sealer on both sides and it'll be fine.
