Default Is there a gasket for the turbo drain?

Just curious if there should be a gasket between the turbo and the drain flange.

my precision came with a paper gasket. Id suggest using high temp rtv if you have it or dont. Paper gasket doesn't always seal perfect.

Thats funny that it didn't since a S91 is small and near a normal, stock size turbo

Don't you jsut love the Kiss method? I have to almost run to a damn parts store every other day and once I am there say, ok that should be it. I know where I'll probably end up tomorrrow, LOL

Good question that I never thought of, I got some high temp TRV gasket maker so looks like thats what this guy will be rolling with I love this forum, you can find out pretty much anything with little effort

I here ya!

Summit/Atech is my best friend, I put about one order in a week lately and I'm still finding more stuff, it never ends.

I surprised that boostnTBSS got his to fit on an S88 unless it's a different one than in his sig. looks like these thing were made for big thumpers.

Can't go wrong with high temp RTV though.
