It depends whether the old one stays in one piece when you remove the outlet pipe. But to be honest if you get stuck you could probably cut out a new gasket from a cornflakes box as a temporary solution.

have you an aftermarket dump valve you do?

if so, there is a place on the intercooler to mount your dump valve mate.

just need a turbo to intercooler gasket thats it!

then enjoy it!

depends, what hose is on it now??

if the diameter is the same as the one on the front mount then use that.

my old front mount piping for dump valve was slightly larger so i just found a larger bit of hose and used that.
