Default BOV gasket

Hey guys,

Just purchased a new blow off valve for my wrx and was wondering how would you get of the old melted blow off valve gasket of the top mount?
It's basically melted itself onto it

And where abouts could I get a new top mount gasket??

Cheers in advance guys

Gasket wasn't supplied? Check with supplier. No decent response then Subaru.

Regarding old gasket removal, plug hole with clean rag, orange oil usually works wonders, let soak, and scape off carefully with a plastic (if necessary metal) scraper to avoid scratching the face of IC.

Maximum Motorsport has heaps of them. I used a razor and thinners. Was still somewhat visible but smooth to the touch
