Well original Saab spec was a gasket between turbine and manifold - new downpipe won't seal so requires a suitable gasket. Could pay main dealer prices but was wondering if anyone knew of a more reasonable source? Works out about 15quid for two of each from the states.

Providing both surfaces are perfectly flat you shouldn't need a gasket - however pretty sure mine aren't

so teh gasket you show isnt spefically for a T3.
Just your T3 application.


Very true - its a standard 3 bolt flat 3" gasket - just I can't get the sodding downpipe to seal properly without it

I support it'd be wise to get my local engineering firm to skim the manifold and turbine housing flat when its next apart.
