That's about the going price of those things.
The engine to turbo exhaust manifold is about $75.
The turbo exhaust manifold to turbo is $30.
So $100 is just about right.
These are stainless steel "sandwich" gaskets, which are really expensive to make.
I dunno why you're bitching about it.
They are not normal type of gaskets.
What happened to the original ones?
These things tend to outlast the life of the turbo unless you run into an exhaust leak.
Try pricing FD 13B-REW gaskets...
The engine to turbo exhaust manifold gaskets are $100 A PIECE.
Mazda divided them so it's one per exhaust port, so you need to buy two for the 13B-REW.
So the FC 13BT $75 gasket is cheaper than TWO FD 13B-REW gaskets which comes out to a total of $200!
In fact, some FD guys run the FC 13BT gasket cause it's a lot cheaper!
