Smithcraft Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Hello! So the turbo should be back in my hands next week(Thanks JMP!), and I was wondering if I should pick up a complete set of gaskets, or just specific ones? If it's all, then it should be the Up-pipe to turbo, turbo to Down-pipe, turbo to I/C, and I/C to Intake right? With the Cobb DP, do I need a Cobb gasket or just the Subaru one? Thanks!

Max Capacity Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 3 stock type gaskets should be fine. there is no gasket from tmic to TB. Most of us remove those rubber boots on the end of the TB hose. You should also get a gasket for the oil return flange and a new oil return hose. I bolt my turbo to the up pipe, I find it easier to line things up and don't tighten those bolts until the tmic is in place and tight to the TB hose then tighten the turbo outlet bolts, then the support brackets, then the turbo to up pipe. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.

JmP6889928 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Your turbo won't need the oil drain gasket. I don't remove the drain tube if it's sealed well and yours was perfect. For turbo to TMIC-Mr. Gasket 738G-orange/aluminum reusable Chevy water outlet gasket seals perfectly and is infinitely reusable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithcraft Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 Thank you sir! That sounds like the turbo to TMIC gasket that was on there, but it looked a little rough. I wasn't sure if there was a fitment issue with the AVO TMIC. SC 1994 Legacy MI 2008 Legacy GT specB 2023 Crosstrek Limited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
