Exhaust gasket maker/sheets?

[7Mboost]

Do they make metal exhaust gasket sheets? I am in the process of cleaning/rebuilding my Greddy wastegate and can't get the gaskets anymore from Greddy so I need to make a few odd shape square gaskets. Any ideas on where I can get exhaust gasket maker or sheets?

orillies (sp?) has the sheets for under $10. I used this in a pinch for my dp to catback flange and havent had it leak yet! (7-8months, 4-5,000 miles)
Coat it evenly with the copper spray or exhaust gasket maker (usually red).

as far as it holding up to the waste gate temps at the manifold... not a clue. cheap enough to try though.

Pics of said gasket?

A few odd square shaped gaskets with small diameter holes in the center, and one butterfly shaped square gasket with a the same diameter center.

Is it like metal material? I've seen the regular sheets.

I bought a sheet from eBay a while back. I think it was called Ford gasket maker or something like that. I'll try to find it for you. I think I paid a good bit for it though. It is about one foot by three feet of gasket material.

crap i totally blanked on the "metal" part. nope im speaking of the paper stuff.

id imagine a sheet of the graphite/ metal gaskets that will with stand the egt's of the mani will cost a bit more...

I had a bad leak between my turbo and manifold and this fixed it completely. I've only had it on there for about a month though, but it seems to be doing fine.

I'd have to see the gaskets, but if they're what i think they are you're going to have to hunt down someone that can make them...

The guy I bought mine from doesn't have anymore for sale. This looks like the same stuff though.

Poodles, that's what I was afraid of..hopefully I can make some myself.

Suprahero, do you think that would stand up to the temperatures of an external wastegate? (It's the gaskets between the bases)

I hate to say it, but check if anyone knocked off the greddy wastegates. Chances are that the gaskets will be the same. I know with my XSpower gate, I can run any HKS part in it (spring, diaphragm, etc.

I don't know how hot it will withstand but I have mine between the flange and the turbo and it's doing great. It sure beats the piss out of an exhaust leak. I was tired of my car sounding like a log truck.

Thanks Suprahero, I found some of that gasket maker at a local auto parts store, just what I was looking for.
