if you're thinking about between the head exhaust ports and the header flange that bolts up to the heads, then we normally would make sure the flange surfaces on both are smooth and straight, then use High Temp Copper RTV on both sides, let it set up a little, install with a little torque, then wait a little while till it sets up alittle, then torque down. Turbos blow out most gaskets anyways.
