I use a MLS one. Pretty similar to an MLS headgasket. Works MUCH MUCH better. A dealer SHOULD be able to get you one. I am on the hunt at my dealer tomorrow for one.

I believe that he is refering to the gasket between the turbo and the Manifold so the dealer wouldn't be able to help. Try using fel-pro part number es72811. Its the gasket kit for a 88 ford thunderbird turbo coupe. It comes with a nice stainless gasket for the turbo to manifold. It also only costs about 7$. I did blow one up but that was due to my manifold cracking, not the fault of the gasket.
Edit: I did not see that you are using a T25. If that is the case then you DO need to order from the dealer. I have no idea how much they are.
The fel-pro gasket is for the T3 series of turbochargers.

Been there done that, the metal would eventually warp, so this won't last forever.
Maybe get them machined to accept O-rings? That is probably quite expensive, though, but I absolutely hate gaskets (O-rings save a lot of rebuild time) and O-rings are starting to appear in a lot of high end builds.

Tim, what do you mean copper gasket? A premade one for your specific turbine or did you make one yourself?
I called the GM dealership and asked them to look for the 89 Sunbird 4cyl turbo. It also runs a t25 and the parts guy said there was no listing for a gasket there on any of the model years and that they run w/o a gasket.
