Hello everyone, I hope that your summer is going great! Anyway, I am planning on installing a wastegated 12 cm housing and I had a few questions. First, where could I get the needed gaskets at the lowest price. I saw that the High Tech Turbo website listed a kit for about $22 with shipping to my address. Would it be more inexpensive to purchase through a Dodge or Cummins dealer? Also, I assume that the actuator can be operated by being connected to the intake manifold like a boost gauge. Am I correct? Thanks for any help!

For the oil drain gasket, I made my own from paper gasket material. Works fine and cost a keckofa lot less than the dealer. Same material works on the intake flange.

I have used anaerobic sealant for the oil drain. I reuse the turbo-to-manifold gaskets twice, then replace on the third time. For the turbo elbow, I leave it connected and remove the elbow and turbo as one, disconnecting it at the boot.

The turbo drain gasket is $1 from the dealer; turbo-to-manifold gasket is $5 from the dealer or CaseIH.

Yes, that is how mine is installed. I ran steel line under the engine for a cleaner install.
