well if your just doing a turbo install you'll need a new exhaust manifold gasket and a gasket where the dp meets the exhaust...other than that your fine..if your doing a rebuild then replace every last one of them...

I'd say get a new exaust mani gasket, and a new oil pan gasket. Both gaskets are excellent quality, and can be reused if in good shape. If the car has higher miliage on it, then use new ones. If you are under maybe 75,000 miles, the stock ones should be ok to use. Get new ones just in case. They aren't that expensive anyway.

Are you getting a kit? or is this a custom setup? If its a HRC kit, then it comes with all turbo gaskets, dp gaskets, but no exaust manifold or oil pan gasket. If its a custom kit, then you need to find the mani to turbo gasket, and the turbo to DP gasket.

Do yourself a favor (you may know this already) get your gaskets at a Chrysler dealer instead of Mitsu. Much cheaper. I got both my oil pan gasket and exhaust mani gasket from them no problem. Had them in stock, took 10 minutes of my time. If you need part numbers let me know.

How much are you guys paying for Exhaust mani gaskets? My local Satan and Dodge want $33 for it :o I literally told them to suck it, and got lots of $7 Felpro composite gaskets from Autozone.
Gaskets I blew within 1 month of boost: (Might wanna get extras of these) Exhaust manifold (Several times now, because of crappy manifold bolts) Turbo oil drain Turbo Downpipe (3 bolt triangle pattern) Sold at autozone as "Header collector" Downpipe to Cat (2 bolt pattern) Downpipe U-bolt clamp
