Pyrometer install. What gaskets are needed?

Time to get off my butt and install the Pyro and boost gauge. I plan on a pre-turbo install on the exhaust manifold. I will take the turbo off to properly clean out the metal shavings and chips. As I see it I will need a new turbo to exhaust manifold gasket. Is this all I need or should I get the oil tube gaskets? The manual seems to think I need them. Also, where have can I get the turbo to manifold gasket? Just go to the regular places such as Saturn or does someone have a napa number or such for the gasket?

Thanks
Chuck

Chuck,
I got my turbocharger gaskets from Memphis equipment and I if memory serves me right I think I paid $9.00 a piece, as far as the turbocharger oil drain tube, I made my own out of .030" bulk felpro gasket material.

I got an open center steel shim gasket at the local Mack dealer. I showed the counter man a paper imprint and he walked over to shelf and got one. $7(?). The TM shows a divided composite gasket. I called Memphis. They said they have both. I asked for a couple divided composite and got open center composite gaskets. I used one of these. Memphis had all the other gaskets I asked for. The intake manifold adapter gasket is a heavy duty steel-core piece. JimK
