The last time i talked to blueflame about this they told me to use gasket seal btw.
RSmith, sorry for sounding like a dumbass, but what is the difference between the oem gasket and the gasket seal you mention?

Gasket seal is like a paste/glue/compond you put between the join that fills the area when the 2 objects you are trying to mate together are compressed onto each other, where as the oem gasket is a mechanically cut gasket specific to the 2 objects you are trying to mate together.
Gasket seal can be used in the event that you don't have a specific gasket avaiable
I have a new DP gasket set if you want it, Its unopened and genuine SEAT, Pm me if you want it, NO bolts though... Cheers
hi mate, thanks for the offer but just found out that the OEM gasket is:
1J0253115R = Turbo / downpipe gasket (£2.59 ex VAT) so will just pop into my local VW dealers, if they are helpful i will get the bolts too.
Can you let me know price when you order it please? they charged me £5.95 + VAT.......not a lot of money but over twice RRP if your price is correct ![[:@]](/forums/styles/seatcupra/oldforumsmileys/furious.gif "Furious [:@]")
Cheers mate, thought that was a bit unusual especially as I'd just spent quite a bit on a downpipe and cat in same order.
actually it was the turbo/manny gasket that was 5 quid odd... can see the dp one being cheaper though, as its larger
Cheers for letting me know.......always nice to find out you've been had! guess its not much and my fault for not checking first
picked up the gasket today, it is made of metal, i thought it would have been another material. the dealer couldnt locate the item at first so i kicked off and then the manager had a look and found it, relief then hit me. so thats new gasket, nuts and washers. hopefully the exhaust place will have the other gaskets when they mate up my oen cat. fingers crossed now thatthe nuts come of ok...
