Turbo gaskets failing

[Checkered vr4]

Has anyone used copper t3 gaskets before? How about copper RTV with no gasket at all? I keep blowing out the thin stainless steel ones.

I've used plenty of copper turbo gaskets they work great. However, if you are blowing stainless gaskets, you need to have the surfaces trued on the turbine housing, and manifold.
