Gaskets needed for turbo and trap?
if i want to take my Trap oxidizer off to knock out all the internals, (for testing purpose only of course
 ) will i need new gaskets? what about the turbo also, i will have to remove it to get to the trap, are there any gaskets needed? i dont want to rip the car appart and then have to wait a week for gaskets.

I remember seeing some kind of turbo kit with gaskets but if I think there is just a reuseable metal gasket.

My 300cd is a California model that was retrofitted with the newer trap oxidizer. Having known several mechanics @ Hatch and Son's in Weston Ma., I asked them about the removal and replacement of it. I was told, that the cars performance would not improve significantly over what it currently is.
They also told me that its one thing to have the "replacement pipe" that is used on many 126 models. I would spend my time on other items. Also, the marine industry is currently testing products on the new crop of marine diesels.
