MR266002 Mitsubishi GASKET,T/C, Price: 9.86$, Weight: 0.03kg

Turbocharger Sealing Gasket — Ref. MR266002

This precision gasket seals the hot-side joint on the turbo system, keeping exhaust gas and boost pressure where they belong. It is engineered for high heat, vibration, and pressure, giving a tight, long‑lasting seal for daily driving or spirited use. Ideal for restoring factory performance on Mitsubishi platforms that rely on clean, leak‑free turbo flow.

Why this part is needed

A correct seal prevents exhaust leaks before or after the turbine and stops boost loss at critical flanges. That means faster spool, stable AFRs, clean emissions, and maximum turbo efficiency. Any time the turbo is serviced or removed, this gasket should be renewed.

How it works ️

The gasket sits between mating flanges (manifold-to-turbine or turbine-to-downpipe). Its multi-layer steel/graphite core conforms to micro‑imperfections, then locks in under proper torque. It resists thermal cycling and exhaust temps that can exceed 900°C.

What happens if it breaks ⚠️

Leak at the joint causes whistle or tick, sulfur smell, soot around the flange, slow spool, lower boost, higher EGTs, fuel trim drift, and possible catalyst/oxygen sensor stress. Prolonged use may warp flanges and crack studs.

Installation tips ✅

Clean both flanges to bare metal, check flatness, use new hardware, torque in a cross pattern, and recheck after a few heat cycles. Replace whenever the joint is opened.
