It's either or, not both. In this case, I would use the crush washer, as I would also have doubts as to if the o-ring will withstand the heat.

Thanks. Should I get an actual copper crush washer then? The washer supplied is zinc plated steel....

I could use the washer that was supplied with the fitting....but it's obvious this fitting isn't made specifically for turbos and I'm worried about how well it's going to seal. Really trying to avoid having to tear the car apart again to fix a leaky connection.....

Copper or aluminum crush washers are best. Mazda uses both types on their engines.
