actually i used cork and template and cut out my own. those factory gaskets are single use crush type and are really temperamental with imperfect surfaces. even with a brand new UIM to LIM gasket i was getting boost leak. ive since only ever used really cheap cork and with amazing results.

If you have taken your UIM off a few times chances are the surface is no longer good enough for a factory gasket and thats the truth! as a machinist i can tell you that without face milling your surfaces to new again they simply take too much abuse even if your careful if you repeatedly take it off and put it back on to use factory crush gaskets.

Even the thin steel gaskets wear on the soft aluminum parts.
