Pineapple Racing Graphite Mani Gasket?

Yeah, the reason I am asking is because the stock one failed and I can't afford a stock one at the moment. I have read alot about how the stock gasket is reuseable and should outlast the life of the turbo, but I think that one of the previous owners must have taken off the turbo and reinstalled the gasket incorrectly (causing damage).

I think that I am going to try the graphite one, and if it fails it fails. I doubt that Pineapple would sell an inferior part. At least we will get some good information regarding the durability of this part.

thanks for the info Classic.
