I've used the sealant that comes with exhaust pipe/muffler patch/repair kits on similar applications. None were turbo, but I doubt the turbo temps would be enough higher to make a difference. I've also found that used gaskets, both metal and non-metal, work better if they are carefully wire brushed and then used with a sealant. Also, there seems to be quite a few more sealants at FLAPS than in years gone by. Some may be specific for exhaust level temps. Gerry
