Mitsubishi EVO Turbo Gasket















Apart from the engine gasket, there are some important gasket for those engine which have the turbo charger install on it.

For example, the Mitsubishi EVO type of engine, which mainly comprise from 4G63 engine type, have their own Turbo Charger gasket as shown on the picture.

As the place which needed to install this type of gasket, their temperature and pressure is extremely diffrent in the place like at the engine side, hence, if one is using ordinary gasket material to mede this type of gasket, you may see the gasket may totally burn away after one round of runnng the car.

This is the beuty of the Japan technologies as the art of making this gasket is hardly able to follow from others.
