Thick Twinscroll Gasket
I was wondering where do people buy gaskets from especially ones for twinscroll turbo setup
I suspect there is a slightly leak on mine but not too sure where, going to assume the uppipe>turbo or header>uppipe or my turbo>dump pipe But I will buy whole kit for piece of mind There are a few on ebay but not too sure on the thickness of them they looks like they are 1mm thick or less :S Would like something that is at least 2mm or possibly 3mm thick..

also check your wastegate flap, the one on my old vf37 became loose due to the crap design of the single pivot but covering 2 holes, worth checking too, mine used to make a slight noise like a leak before i got it fixed up

Could always buy gasket board and cut your own! that was my plan before you brought my turbo. MMS also stock them as they use vf36's in their rally cars. Same gasket!

thats exactly when mine would make the noise as its tring to build boost but the flap is see-sawing on the actuator arm, with the dump off disconnect the w/g actuator arm and see if the 'button' has become loose
personally i would only use the oem 3-ply steel gaskets, you can use them over & over again with a good cleanup and a tiny schmear of ultracopper |

will put the forge actuator on the turbo and hopefully sus out the problem,
what the button looks like? here is the rear of my VF37 The current gaskets are 3ply stainless steel so see how it goes Probably answers my other question in regards to the lack of torque/power only getting 360hp/350nm lol and its looks laggier to RUSSGT's dyno graph mine in 5th peak torque at nearly 4.3k rpm
