Mr turbo sells the gaskets that go between the turbo and mani

Maybe you should go to Mr turbo and other place and then try. They not interested when you phone asking for something. If you can't find that gasket, you can make your own out of gasket paper

nope, had it at full boost a year ago to have a branch built up. they did a "dry assembly", they said that they don't use gaskets. i though it wouldn't work at all, but i lasted a year so yea.

Also had the same problem, same gasket.
I went everywhere in person and nobody could/wanted to help me.
Let us know if you come right at Nissan with the part number.

Also budget sheet metal can cut one out of aluminium for about a grand but they need a cad and it's your problem if it doesn't work or wholes are wrong or what ever. a grand seems like too much money for a gasket methinks.

Yup, lazy idiots is a nice way of putting it :D My personal experience though: STAY AWAY FROM MR. TURBO!!

Nissan has or can get all the parts. The time it takes to get them varies though, a few days to over a month.
