I have a aftermarket turbo elbow and downpipe. I have the turbo to turbo elbow gasket, but dont have the elbow to downpipe gasket, or test pipe to downpipe gasket. Did anyone else have this problem? What can i make the gasket out of? I bought a sheet of aluminum and copper sealant and was gonna make my own. Will it do?

The two outside layers are metal that sandwich a layer of something else. Dunno what, heat resistant something-or-other

Metal/composite factory type.

Probably not too dissimilar to a brake compound or clutch disk. I am just guessing about that though.

I would recommend a proper gasket myself. I did not have too much luck getting rid of leaks without a quality gasket.
