What kind of material do people tend to use?
Best I've found is this and it seems pretty good for the price..

Its either that or I could probably get some graphite gasket from work, which should also be pretty good?
seems good, I was thinking of using copper sheet but this may be better
Looks similar to the stuff me and CJ used on ours. I used some Holts exhaust stuff with it too so that I was completely sure it sealed.
I'll see what I can find at work first. I know we have graphite gasket but I've been told we also have a liquid gasket used on our turbine, which is rated up to 62 bar! Not sure if a liquid gasket would stand up to the vibration as well as graphite though..

Bought some of this but haven't used / tested it yet I'm afraid.
It's quite flexible, will probably crush a fair bit when applied.
Sounds good, if its flexible it would also withstand vibration well I would think.
Exhaust paste FTW, never let me down once yet. that said on my own car ive always used the gaskets from oem application, so just use a td04 gasket etc....MLS nrmally.

^this!
those generic gasket sheets look a pita
Yeah I've got a subaru gasket for the plate - exhaust housing, but the plate I'm making for the manifold - turbo will require a custom one because our standard turbo's didn't have gaskets so can't buy one.
Ive used holts firegum for years, even on flanges on "redneck" jobs that are warped to hell, never ever failed once, its epic stuff!

I was about to say that! I used holts firegum on my plates and downpipe and it works great, its like 4 quid for a tube!
Another vote for firegum, f*cking quality stuff, even on my warped flanges! (giggity)
