So can i just use this gasket i got, the bolt holes are closer together, and it will just sit in there. But it will clear the hole and seal it, just wont be held in place. But if i get it snug enough it should stay right? I could just use a tad but up glue to hold in it place then tighten it down?

I geuss my question is. If i the gasket clears the whole, but isnt big enough to reach the bolts. So it would just sit in the middle. i could use a bit of glue just to hold it in place while i tightened the manifold to it? You kinda getting my picture? Would that work? or will the gasket move around from the vibration?

I used copper Permatex as my gasket, but I dunno if you are willing to try that. Its Worked good for me so far, all you have to do is let it cure for 6 hours unless your working in a heated garage and then your good to go.

I made my own manifold and I welded bolts onto the manifold to make it easier to put the turbo on then I just outlined the Turbo flange with permatex and it went on easily.
