Flat surfaces should not need a gasket. It just adds a failure point.

Subject: Turbo to downpipe gasket question


Hi,

I've discovered my turbo to downpipe gasket has blown out.. (the middle
2 layers of a 4 layer metal gasket), knowing that the same will reoccur
in the future I'm looking at alternatives. 

I've read that copper RTV is a commonly enough used solution. 
1) Is this true?
2) Is it a viable alternative (will it hold)? 
3) How much is applied to seal the mating surfaces?

Thanks!
Steve
