1986 Buick Grand National Precision PTE6262 Turbo installation

[@brianmathew09]

You may know this but...RJC makes a nice copper gasket for the header to turbo union ...goes on dry...never,ever have to scrape that old sealant off! Also...no gasket is needed between downpipe and turbo. Permatex anti- seize on the downpipe/turbo bolts is a good thing.

When I installed my TE44, I've put a copper gasket between the header and the turbo, two years ago when removing the engine and the turbo, I saw that the copper gasket was really thin, and had craked and of course had an exhaust leak, this is why since I put Permatex High temp silicon

@@brianmathew09 I don't know if it was an RJC, I bought it from GbodyParts

Did you bore out the turbo, for the wastegate puck?

[@duber3]

No I didn't bore the hole for the wastegate puck, the wastegate hole on PTE 6262 is big enough, take a look at my GN's turbos comparison video kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIucaYubZauco8U
