Should I Use This Turbo Dump Gasket For My T618z?

[9krpm]

My turbo-dump pipe gaskets blew and I am getting parts for this big job. After a bit of shopping around, the joy of having rare turbo lol, I ordered a set of gasket from a well known turbo place in NSW. I did stress to them that the turbo exhaust housing is thicker than standard garret turbo and so are the gaskets. A few days later, I received 2 sets of permaseal kits for RB26. The gaskets are the samet gaskets for my old high flowed N1 (garrett) turbo and look like this

The tracing on the background is a template of the gaskets that came along with the greddy t618Z turbo. It also mate up perfectly to my new Trust extension and dump pipe kit.

Is it reliable to use this gasket?

Where can I order the Greddy turbo gasket?

I gave Advan a call this morning and they have the gaskets in stock

Problem fixed

they are stock GTR gaskets, just looked at a set of 618Z's in storage.

i generally dont use the gaskets for turbo to dump.. never had any problems providing the bolts are done up tight enough but yes the one you've pictured will work and looks like a standard gasket

Thanks guys.

Advan is sending me a set of Trust gaskets that are a bit bigger than the one in the picture and should be the same size as the drawing on the paper ie fits the turbo and dump perfectly

Now I have the luxury dilema of not knowing which to put in....just like an obsessive man with 2 watches LOL I used the permaseal gaskets on my high flowed N1 and T517z and they worked well. I used the Greddy gasket on the T618Z and they blew. There could be a number of reasons for this though but the Greddy gasket looks a bit flimsy compare to the permaseal

Hmmm has anyone had any trouble with the Greddy gaskets before?
