I tried searching but not getting anywhere. is the turbo oil supply/drain gasket reusable? I heard awhile back it is and its not? Not sure if my dm turbo is gonna come with gaskets or not. let me know thanks in advance

If its metal it could be and could be resealed with a tad of fipg. A tad as you dont want to fill the feed hole with fipg.

Dm 57 trims do not come with the gaskets.

i think it is metal, fipg? silicone? that sucks they should include them with the turbos. if i had known i would have ordered a set. looks like i am calling toyota might just buy new ones and not have to worry about a leak in a bitch of a place to seal. thanks

That would be nice but thats not how things work. You dont go to toyota and buy a new hg expecting it to come with intake gaskets.(not the kit)

Would be wise to replace them as that really is a pain in the ass to replace.

Fipg = form in place gasket so yes silicone.

good call IJ i will avoid the silicone. I got some from toyota awhile back cost like 5 bucks for the turbo and block gasket. so lets hope they have a couple left, along with the coolant pipe gasket.
