Exhaust turbo to turndown pipe?

[B.G. Smith]

Is there a gasket between the flanges where the turndown connects to the turbo? Thanks, bg

nope no gasket

No. I'm assuming you're talking about the cast elbow right after the turbo... either way there are no gaskets in the exhaust.

If you are referring to the exhaust manifold "turn down dump" to the turbo, yes, there is a crush gasket, it can burn out if the connection became loose, or been re-installed... .



Otherwise, the rest of the system has V-Band clamps, no gasket.

There is a gasket between the exhaust manifold and the gasket, but none from the turbo to the tail pipe.

Thanks all, I had the clamp fail where the turndown exits the turbo while on a trip a week ago. Drove to nearest dealer but they didn't have it ion stock, my good luck. I drove 45 miles and saw a big blue "C" on a store front. By the time I got the truck/5th wheeler stopped I was three stores down. I walked back and of course they had the clamp in stock and it was $23. 58 out the door. Slightly over a fourth of what it would have been at dealer($85. 00 plus tax). Took me at least 15 minutes to install after the engine cooled down. Would have been faster if I had a 12mm deep socket. Thanks again, bg
