I took my turbo off and need to replace the oil line gaskets and the gasket for the radiator lines, would it be ok to make my own out of fel-pro gasket material? I have done this before on a harder task (92 civic throttle body) but I can't find them locally anywhere and there isn't a toyota dealer within 50 miles of me.
Have to make my own gaskets?

you dont have too. its easier to just order them, but if youre careful you can do it with success.
what exactly are the gaskets called? I'll see how much it will cost me if I get them from a toyota dealer, but I think if I have to I will be ok, I have made these gaskets before and never screwed them up.
Tried that one and did not come out well. Worked for the time being BUT I already planned on relpacing it anyways so I wasn't driving it, with it like that
Well what are you guys talking about? Making them out of sealer, or cutting them from fel pro gasket material? I have never seen someone take their time and mess up on the fel-pro.
For what it's worth, I was using a gasket cut from a coca-cola 24 pack box for 6 months, no prob. Next 6 months on one from a pepsi box, similar lack of problems!
