Should I use different gaskets for my inlet manifold and plenumn? ie. carbon or something like that (its piazza). And what should I use for exhaust manifold?
Where can I get these gaskets?

Cheers

Hey Loz,

I've just used standard intake and exhaust gaskets, just tension up after a run in, and they have been fine,

cheers

Cheers mate
People keep telling me I need to use carbon or steel gaskets on the manifolds for the high boost. I suppose they were just trying to sell me gaskets. If the standard ones will not let go under decent boost then thats all I'll get.

Thanks
Loz
