hi folk i recently bought an fd3s type r. it required the turbos to be replaced. i have the old ones off and some second hand ones ready to go on. but could you tell me the best place to go for new gaskets? can i buy it in kit form if it is cheaper? i am guessing it is recommended to replace all turbo and exhaust gaskets? also the previous owner had started stripping the turbos off but never completed it, but while he was doing it he decided that he wanted the turbos to come in at the same time but has only half done it. so any advice on putting back to standard or carrying the rest off it out would be a great help. only thing is i dont actually know what he has all done. need to get it done asap to sell the  car as baby on the way so  need something slightly bigger.
 
thanks for any help

new gaskets are expensive (assuming you mean the large funny shaped ones from manifold to turbo)..youd be looking at over 100 quid new!
Best place for parts in the uk is super7autos (//www.super7autos.co.uk) or 01903810139
It is recommended to replace these gaskets as if they start to blow in a bit, its a 500+ quid job to sort them out again.
