Question

I'm gonna fit me new zorst on Sunday , what's deal with the gaskets, are the existing one's gonna be ok? Am I likely to damage them when removing them? Should I go get some exhaust compound?

Don't wanna find out the hard way on a Sunday afternoon

Cheers Guys

What exhaust are you fitting?

If it is something like HKS, they have different gaskets to the standard system.

Downpipe to turbo gasket can be used again (depending on how many times it's been undone and done up). My current downpipe to turbo gasket is on the 4th time of being re used

The cars equiped with a standard exhaust and is an my00, so probably never bin off.

The exhaust itself is a Hayward & Scott, all 3 bits.

Cant wait, only 2 more choccies on the calender now

Zorst paste kills lambda sensors. Don't use it - get new gaskets.

Huh? Fair point if you use it where the turbo meets the dp (not that you'd need to that thing fits so friggin tight) but surely a bit of paste is ok downstream of the sensor?

The paste goes very hard and can also destroy the cat. Best use new gaskets and no paste as the man said.
