i have let all my car work go all winter and now I am getting
back on it... well i need to install a turbo.... and I was thinking

Is there an rtv that will work on an exhaust system?

it would save me from having to order the gaskets....

Hmm, I don't remember there being a gasket between the turbo and the manifold.... Memory is hazy though, RT

this is for an 89 saab 900.... it does have 2 gaskets.. on for oil
one for water and one for exhaust... do you think there is an rtv i could
use...


i own a 300e mb, a 96 dodge minivan, a 89 saab 900, a 90 ford truck
an 83 300sd, a jeep, and some more i cant remember..

I provide an RTV that handles 700°F. with the EGR kits. But, this is on an side runner from the manifold and the temp will stay below this value. You'd need RTV good for 1200°F. I don't think you'll find any that is commercially available at a reasonable price. And, even it the claim is made, consider it similar to the claims of exhaust header paint.

i guess i will just have to go out and find the gaskets...

what about this copper rtv?

permatex copper rtv says it goes up to 700 deg f

is that not enough...

Yes, the copper rtv is good for 700°F. But, that's proabably not sufficient for the long haul. I'm not sure how far the gaskets are from the exhaust ports.........the temp drops the further away that you go.

I wouldn't risk all that work........just to have to repeat it.
