However, take some time shaking the Can up to get the Copper Particles off of the bottom.
Otherwise the Gasket is supposed to be replaced after each use. TO3 Type Turbos are used on a lot of Cars. Speed Shops sell the Turbo Mount Gaskets and could likely match one up for you.
Besides the stamped Metal Gaskets there used to be a laminated type, Metal with some softer material in between (in the old days the material was asbestos).

thanks i will try that copper coat... i guess my car will be down around a week or soo probably needs the rest... haha.... i am putting on all the parts that i never got around to doing before... I am driving my expedition around at 10 mpg... ouch... it might be cheaper to rent a car that gets 30 mpg...
latest update got my old turbo pulled the bolts are completely seized where the turbine housing connects to the exhaust housing.... i do not see how to get the bolt out where it hits the oil drain.... how do you pry these units apart....
