I opened the turbo to clean the oil inside and in the process the 3-bolt inlet gasket peeled off.
It is about 61mm/2.4" ID and 80mm/ 3.15" center-to-center between the 3 bolts:

There is no info in the TM and I looked around for an equivalent gasket, but most stores don't know the dimensions.
The closest one I found was for an exhaust and had something like a fire ring on it, which would not fit flush.
What gasket do you guy use when rebuilding the turbo?

AFAICR every one I took apart just used sealer or nothing so sealer is what I used when I put them together, not too much demand on that seal

I remember you saying that when I was replacing my gasket. I found a gasket from one of the big 3. I don’t like the rtv personally but no doubt it will work just fine
