Hey trubo guys...........????

[superdave013]

I wasn't aware that you needed gaskets with a "TRUBO" set up! Better get that pig done there amigo! My coffee table is almost ready to gobble up some sissy ski boats.... :boxingguy
thanks for pointing out the typo. :yuk:
Still trying to pick on the ski boat guys I see. Just ban tURbos from GN seems to be the best way for you to finish ahead of the ski guys! lol

Felpro for a turbo'd motor? Composite gaskets and turbo chargers = a BIG no no. You're going to be seeing EGT's in the 1450 degree farenheit range and that is WAY to hot for composite. I
I thought this was a question about exhaust manifold gaskets. What does that have to do with temp? Head gaskets are special 3 ply that will handle up to 30 lbs of boost. What gasket are you referring to?

Dave, on the race boat turbo motors @ Prime we used graphite coated copper or s/s gaskets. Ask Mikey which ones. You're not running headers??

[Freak]

I've run copper with no probs. Put on - run motor - retorque - after that good to go.

Actually no, since I just got done with brain radiation, I am bald. I just asked for some questions answered...We have been running our turbo with the gaskets mentioned and never had a problem. The engine was just gone thru by Liberty Marine, who has been building ski race turbos for years. I think he knows application is best. So, Just asked a question...sorry if it was too blond for you.

You have a turbo'ed ski boat?

[Mrs CP 19]

Don't remember saying that. Just said what our builders expertise is regarding twin turbo motors. The short block was done by Paul Pfaff, the top end By Andy holeman in a 19" California Performance.

But it is a turbo motor?
