    Default Header Gasket - Use Or Not Use

    Have my hot side mocked up and ready to make final assembly.... How many turbo guys not running header gaskets?? Seems the people I know who are running turbos are spilt 50/50.... I'm told not running gaskets will reduce the chance of gasket blow out.

    What's your thoughts??

    Thanks!! - Tim

    I run copper RTV on aluminum MLS dead soft gaskets, so far no blowouts. My setup is prob on the high side of backpressure as well.

    But I have stock D port heads, not sure they will work on AFRs.

    Percy's High Performance XX Carbon exhaust header gaskets are the best.
