exhaust elbow gasket

[Junglist]

did i hear somewhere that these arent nessersary ?
did renault fit them as standard ?
cany find any on ebay.

could i just use exhaust putty, cgb are selling it for 9.99 + maybe another £6 to post to germany.

peace up a town :cool:

none fitted as standard...u might try to level(resurface) the mating surface by using 400 grit emery paper stuck to a very flat surface...if u do use a sealer,gun-gum or exhaust paste will do but it wont last long with the pressures!!

The manifold to turbo + turbo to elbow gaskets came with my new turbocharger. I have never used any before and had no problems. I thought i would fit these ones since they came with the rest of the kit.

Cant see a problem running without them in my humble opinion. As mentioned before it may be worth making sure the mating faces are clean and straight. :)
