Exhaust manifold gasket

[mk3supra]

I purchased an engine gasket set from driftmotion and I was reading somewhere that suggested not to use the exhaust manifold gasket from the set. I will be running a boss turbo, should I use the one that came with the set, order one from toyota or just get a felpro gasket?

Here is a link to the gasket set I purchased. http://store.driftmotion.com/static/i-new7menginegasketset.php

People say to use Toyota exhaust manifold gasket, not Felpro, not anything else, but personally i have used a felpro with no problems whatsoever. Its worth it checking your manifold for flatness, if it is warped it wont seal regardless. You can have your machine shop put it on the belt sander if its warped.

Felpro should be fine. I ran one after my toyota gasket leaked on me, and it was good.

Felpro blew on mine, that style of gasket sucks ass (same things came with my DDP, I replaced with stock so they'd actually seal)

So I shouldn't use the one that came in the gasket set?

I would use it. I have even used off brand gaskets for turbo manifold gaskets and they don't leak.

Most exhaust manifold gaskets that are bad are not the dual type that Toyota offers.

Up to you, but the design is a sandwich of metal and packing material, packing material eventually gets blown out.
