Default STS oil feed line gasket...anybody using one???

I'm almost done with this shiznit...thankfully! Before I change the oil and put the oil filter back on, should I create a gasket on the part that I replaced with the STS one?
It's the little "humped" metal part that goes in above the oil filter, which connects to the braided steel line that feeds oil to the turbo...fyi.
I can buy that gasget making kit for pretty cheap and I'm thinking it wouldn't hurt since the stock one had a non-reusable one on it in the first place.

From what I can see, the kit did not come with one, but if don't create one for it, will 40-60psi of oil pressure cause it to leak there?

The stock gasket should be re-useable. If yours cant be used, I'd go to a dealership or swing by here. I have several.
