Got your email... I'm intrigued.... so is it a paste that hardens? can it be removed and reapplied? Does it allow the turbo to be removed easily?

I'm guess it's a compound that remains tacky throughout it's life. So smear a bit on both sides of the gasket, assemble, and when you need to take the turbo off, the gasket is garbage and the compound can be mechanically removed?

I may have to pick up a tube of this, as well as something else x2

NO GASKET! Gaskets are always the problem as they loose preload over time and then FAIL.

This is a paste that allows metal to metal contact in the high spots between V'Bands and Flat flanges and the paste fills in the voids, creating a leak free joint, for rigid flanges like turbos, v'bands etc.

The compound is slightly flexible at 800deg C but at room temperature after curing it is 'brittle' to remove tap part with plastic/nylon mallet and to remove cured compound soak in water for 1 hours then wire brush it off.

Its a great product! say good by to BDC and HC styled failures LOL
