I thought with the compression from the v-band clamp on the FRS you didn't need a gasket, just checked fords and you do...?

Does everyone else use a gasket here?

 

l never have, its not the fire ring that's coming up is it?

 

It is listed as 'gasket' and shows it going between the turbo and downpipe..

I'm using the fire ring gasket on mine.

 

Might wanna hide your vin/plate off that pic just in case

 

What is a fire ring gasket? Do you mean wire ring? and where does one go?

 

There is a recess on the downpipe, and the turbo

 

Ah i know where you mean, i thought that in itself would of been alright. Where did you get yours from? Looks like a trip to Frauds!

 

Fords. Not too dear really for what it is.

 

I guess not, although you want to see the prices on some other bits.
The heat shield - £129, or the oil return pipe £170, or maybe a small bracket for £372.

 

I used a generic gt25 return and a bit of flurolined hose to a brass stub that was tapped into the sump.

Sod fitting a head shield tho! You will prob end up with a tubular manifold at some point then just head wrap that.

 

Well I managed to get my hands on a FRS crankcase so I'll be able to whack it straight on. Just need to find someone selling a FRS return :/

Did you run water feeds to your turbo? Or not bother? ..

 

carpartexpress will get you the turbo ring/gasket

 

Just checked that site, turns out it's cheaper at fords lol
