I was quoted 30 ...for 4.I dont have a gasket installed but I will put one there when I have turbo off next. I was told not to use one due to the fact the metals are different in the gasket as to the manifold etc and when hot it shinks/expands etc and will cause studs/bolts to loosen more.....but after all these years and k's its not a bad idea to use one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
