Default 2wd EXHAUST MANIFOLD/TURBO

Can anyone give me a quick answer on the following please

1, When I removed the Turbo there wasn't any gasket between the main exhaust manifold and the secondary manifold, and between the secondary exhaust manifold and the Turbo, I think there was on the 4wd cosworths.

2, If no gasket is required on the 2wd, should I use exhaust paste, or just dry fit them and let the soot seal any gaps over time.

3, what sealer is used for the thread on the Turbo oil feed adaptor because obviously this is a delicate part of the Turbo, with the bearings etc inside.

If someone can shed some light on this matter I would be greatfull as I need to get the new Turbo fitted as soon as poss.

CHEERS!

1,2 No gaskets or sealant required on either joint - dry fit
3 Shouldn't need any sealant on this connection either
