Boosted Performance single turbo build

Boosted Performance · 04-18-2012, 02:10 PM

If these are such a problem, I would use high Temp RTV with the Berk gaskets. The kit will come with a tube of it anyway for the oil pan spacer, and the rest (penty left) can be used on the headers. I know for a fact that the high temp RTV will now blow out, and a lot of guys use them right on the turbo inlet flange.

But again, the berk gasket should work just fine, and needs to be re-torqued after heat cycling.

the gasket I posted is what I took off, there was no gasket like the ones that you guys are posting...

I am currently running RTV BY ITSELF, and so far it has held up.
