Default gaskets

I'm looking to buy thick gaskets to fix my boost leak problems.

*moderator snip of quote*

Try posting a WTB in the FS forum... and be more specific on what gasket.

Or call up your local advance/discount auto parts and get whatever you need.

Okay, throttle body, bov, j pipe. The ones from the dealership will not fix my leaks.

What is causing your current leaks that thicker gaskets will change? Have you tried a thin coat of RTV on all of your gaskets? I've sealed the j pipe with a thin coat of rtv alone- no gasket.

I agree with Jordan and Ender post why you need thicker gaskets. Explain the boost leak situation. When I had my TSI I sealed the COP and BOV with RTV and had no problems.

Have you tried replacing all those gaskets with new ones? Did you seal them right the first time? I don't see why the dealership gaskets wouldn't be efficient when sometimes RTV can do the trick.

I never tried the RTV, but I'll try it tomorrow. I think my BOV, and throttle body flanges are warped. I'll post pics to explain. thanks

That could definitely cause problems. You could get a machine shop to deck them for you if different gaskets don't work.
