Default T3 gaskets?

Just got my turbo back from being reconed! But when I took it off the car i cant remember if there was gaskets?!? :s

Its where the turbo joins the manifold and the 90 degree bend joins the back of the turbo? should there be gaskets and if so where can i get them from?!?

cheers

Thats right from the factory they just seal metal to metal, although there are gaskets available and i personally have always used one.

Yup.... which most are not 20 years down the road
Either a reface or a gasket will do, i've always used a gasket cos it's a bit cheaper and my local engineering company take forever to do anything because they are always so busy
