Default Header gaskets for turbo
Looking for a recommendation on header gaskets. I have a PTK kit and plan to check the flanges to make sure they are completely flat prior to install, but I need to know whats working best as far as gaskets. Thanks

If you are talking about a gasket for the turbo and turbo flange, just use the high temp RTV gasket silicone maker(orange in color). But if you are talking about the actual header gasket to the head's use stock GM gaskets.
