Where can I find a turbo to dp gasket locally?
So I have an appointment with GST on Monday, however, I'm afraid my gaskets may not arrive on time. Does anywhere locally carry the grimspeed turbo to dp gasket and remflex 3" gasket?

Thanks in advance!

Is it an OEM gasket?

Ops, sorry. Yeah, I meant remflex. They're not good, or you don't have one?

I had tried remflex ones before and they just crumble apart. My personal experience was horrible with them. Best gaskets are oem or the grimmspeed ones that are really similar to oem. My spare turbo to downpipe gasket is either oem or grimmspeed, I forget since they look the same but they are the only ones I use anymore.

Haha, that's what I thought too, but they only order them if you order a DP through them.

I'll have to check the Putnam dealer tomorrow when I get an oil change. I'll try those other garages on Monday if I fail.

I have an extra remflex I used for 1 day. Still will work for temp use. Also have an extra 3" gasket that came with my invidia.

Will be replacing the remflex I put from turbo to dp with oem. Not happy with how the remflex crumbles and rusts away in a year.

Other than that they are great for sealing up leaks or when u have a stock downpipe to 3" catback since it seals very well.
And when ur flanges are bent or pitted.
