3b Turbo Flange Gasket Advice

[vanislebj60]

Running a Gt2052 with an adapter plate to a 13bt Manifold .Having a hard time locating the right gaskets, previous owner used that high temp paper gasket material but it doesn't seem to hold up well. Should I just make some out of copper ? get everything machined flat and use no gaskets ? or if someone has any insight where to buy them that would be appreciated. Thanks

You mean between the turbo and adapter/manifold?

One should be a ct26 gasket which shouldn't be that hard to find? Toyota put those on everything.
I'm not familiar with the other turbo.

I made my own back in the day from a sheet of exhaust gasket material I got at lordco.

Metal on one side papery stuff on the other. Probably pure asbestos now I think about it.

If you cant find one that works you can make one out of thin sheet metal and just peen a ridge in it around the centre opening.

Not as good as OEM but will work.

This is the stuff I've used for ages for exhaust stuff.

Was maybe 15 bucks for a decent sized sheet at lordco....20 years ago so probably 1k now.

And this is a real ct26 one. (I think) You can see the little ridge like he mentioned.

Yeah trying to get it fixed for next week, can’t seem to source a ct26 gasket in that timespan. Probably just going to make my own, I will check lordco for that stuff you got, does it have a steel core or just paper? Thanks!

Yeah it's steel on one side papery the other. Looks like a part number on the tag if you zoom in?

If you were nearby I could cut you off a chunk,but you're probably in Vic?
