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??

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.Correlation does not imply causation.

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