Can cereal box be use to make gaskets? - W116Lorinser - 02-09-2010
i was waiting for the right gaskets for the kkk today and when i got them they were the wrong part. so i made a template out of parts needed on the turbo and put the peices from a cereal box.
can cereal box cardboard be used for the gasket for the turbo drain?
its seems more thicker/heavier duty then the thin gaskets of the originals?
i need input asap as i wanna get them put on and take the car for a spin?
thank

I work with the very same material everyday - paperboard. It is very dense and will hold up, we have used it for shims on equipment and it is oil soaked and still intact - 10 years later.

RE: Can cereal box be use to make gaskets? - W116Lorinser - 02-09-2010
yea but i hear the kkk turbo more then the stock turbo.
Is this normal? it make alittle more noise?
also yea the peformance is better on the start and seems to pull btter midrange to faster spooling.
