I don't think that needs a gasket.

I think Prothe sells them (on ebay) but I don't believe there was one there from the factory.

His turbos probably  aren't flat enough to seal.

My first vw like 4 years ago was an 85 jetta turbo and it only had the gasket on the downpipe side.

Not one turbo motor I have come across since has had a gasket there and I never thought about it after reading around some forums.

Kind of wierd considering it doesn't seem like those pieces are very flat.  I just clean everything and spray some copper gasket lightly on each surface during reinstall and I haven't had a boost leak in any of them.

I have run his gasket set (turbo and dp) and they seal nicely. At 5 or 6 bucks why not. I needed to replace the dp side anyways.
