Turbo Exhaust Manifold Gasket

I was just on a 2k trip and my gasket failed between turbo and exhaust manifold. I had and aftermarket one that was just stainless. The Original had metal on the outside and some kind of Carbon or what ever on between the metal. Were do I find this part.....doesn't seem like I can get my hands on it. Any suggestions? I would prefer the Original part compared to this aftermarket considering my issues. I was making a loud noise whistle ish ......so i checked it out and the turbo bolts were loose......Not sure if my torque specs were wrong or if the gasket failed.

I think that should be metal to metal.... no gasket.

Agree with Todd, I don't remember a gasket for the triangle mounting. There is a gasket between the charger and the exhaust down pipe though.

soo....

I recall removing a gasket from the Exhaust manifold to the turbo inlet....It was triangle shaped with a fiber in the middle and metal on the outsides......it seemed to be a great product......shouldn't have disposed of it. If you removed your turbo you would find out

There was no gasket there originally. If you removed one it's because someone before you added it.

I replaced the gaskets......1/5th was burnt out from the bolts backing out and causing the gasket to get torched out.
