Yeah it's a pain in the ***, try and get a friend to help.

There is a gasket between the DPs and Turbo flange but you should be able to re-use it.

Good luck!

I re-used my gasket between the turbo/DP flanges. Just be conscientious of it when you remove the DP so you don't tear it or anything.

Have fun doing the install, it's a bitch. It really isn't challenging mechanical work since it's mostly just nuts and bolts, it's just the fact that there is almost no room to work. And it's frustrating how there are some slight irregularities in the SSA DPs (like, O2 bungs not lining up on heat shield for example)
