Manifold gasket
« on: 04 February 2014, 10:57 »
Hi, I have bought a new  turbo (Beachbuggy, K250) and when it is being fitted I thought I might as well have a ported manifold put on at the same time (I will be getting Badger5 to port the manifold). My question is, should I buy a new gasket for the new ported manifold?

I found this,  http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Turbo-Exhaust-Manifold-Gasket-Set-Fits-KKK-K03-KO3-used-on-VW-Audi-1-8T-20v-/400322406762?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item5d3513296a  Is it any good, or is there any others that you would recommend.

Thanks!

Id change the gasket if it was me, old gaskets will only cause problems.

As for where have you tried TPS? usually good on price if your cheeky, and all OEM parts.
