GT25 downpipe to Turbo Gasket..
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?

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

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? ..
