I've just got my refurbed T34 turbo back from CR turbos. Now, when I took it off there were no gaskets at all used, but CR have supplied an oil-drain gasket. Is this the only gasket I should use? No others are required?

Also, do I need washers for any of the bolts? I.e. the banjo bolts for the coolant feed?

Cheers.

Theres no harm in useing a gasket on the oil return pipe id say its better to. Dont use one between the turbo and the swan neck part of the manifold but make shore the to surfaces are clean and smooth scotch bright is good for this! The banjo bolts will need sealing washers i used dowghty washers (not shore if thats spell right lol) there cooper washers with a rubber middle but normal cooper ones are ok

As said banjo will defo need seals either side, if the old copper washers are hard due to age, they can be re-softened by heating to cherry red and allowing to cool, be as good as new then,
The "dowty" washers also work well, seals still available from ford afaik.

Cheers for the advice. I'll need to find the washers you guys are on about!

I've also noticed there are two different bolts for the turbo-to-downpipe and turbo-to-exhaust-manifold. Does anyone know which is which?



Do I need washers for these too?

Regarding the bolts above, does anyone know which is for the downpipe and which is for the exhaust manifold?

the one on the right is for exhaust manifold

if you need washers for the banjo bolts let me know
