I put my 14cm WG housing on the other day, but when I got it, it had no gasket on the exhaust flange plate. I used some generic gasket material to make a gasket, but what should actually go there and what is it made of?

 

I haven't had one apart (YET) but I would imagine that they are made from the typical exhaust gasket material, you know the metal with the dimples in it, but like I said I'm not 100% on that.

 

Thin steel with an embossed sealing rib. Regular gasket material is going to burn out pretty quick.

 

You can probably use a copper material

 

I just had a garret apart that was on a 2000 powerstroke and it had no gasket in that area. Then again this is coming from an engine that doesn't have manifold gaskets from the factory.

 

Where can I source one of the proper gaskets from?

 

Dodge,cummins,performance diesel dealers will all have the ss flange gskt.Turbo sellers also

I just bought a couple from HTT. Here's the cummins part #3535001.

Merry Christmas EVERYONE !!!

 

Just to clarify, its not the exhaust flange to the manifold, its to the backplate of the housing...the piece held on with 5 bolts...

 

yes this number is for the backplate on the exhaust housing.

 

Awesome, thank you!

 

Mike, I have a few of those laying around too.
