copper RTV should be fine. I use it for the manifold to head surface as well as turbo to downpipe.

Depends on what kind of manifold/flange you will be bolting to... Cast manifold, yes... But I have seen some steel flanges (mild and stainless) become slightly warped after welding, and they will not seal properly without a gasket....

i ran mine w/o a gasket for the longest time and didn't notice it leaking. I have a SS manifold as well. However, I ordered another wastegate and it came with the gasket so I put it on just for shits and giggles.

i didnt run a gasket from the manifold to the wastegate but it had that metal ring inside. i did use a gasket for my dumptube though. Never had a problem without a gasket. Never noticed a leak.
