Garrett Turbo to Manifold Gasket
« on: July 03, 2006, 02:04:33 pm »
On a 1983 VW 1.6l TD should there be a gasket between the turbocharger assembly and the exhaust manifold? There is a gasket between the exhaust pipe and the turbocharger.
Thanks,
Rex Perry

mine has one but its also 10 years newer, its a copper one. its probably not nessary because my exhaust has two broken studs and it doesn't leak  :P
