A turbo gasket I can't seem to find
I bought a Airesearch T3 Turbo from someone on here. The turbo exhaust housing to the downpipe is a 7 bolt instead of the 5 bolt or 3 bolt. I have the flange for the custom downpipe I'll be needing but I still can't find the gasket that would go between the turbo and this 7 bolt flange/downpipe. Which vehicles came with this 7 bolt? All I found online was the gasket for 5 bolts and 3 bolts. Help please!

Ultra copper is usable as a gasket material for damn near anything on a car except for intake seals and turbo related stuff...you can use it for exhaust stuff like O2 sensors, but the footprint itself I think gets too much heat from the turbo to last.
You may be able to get away with it, but Permatex says it is only good up to 700*F. If you cant get a precut gasket, then its worth a shot
