Apparently this **** works even better than the copper RTV in place of the turbo to downpipe connection. The only thing that worries me is that it's "cement" so it might permanently bond my downpipe to my turbo, haha. Has anyone used it and then later successfully separated the two?

I used it for my interim turbo-replacement-pipe solution and it sealed and held a gap from a very warped flanged amazingly well. I'm using it now on a fresh turbo install - turbo has seen about 30 miles (all with boost) and it's held up fine. I believe there is something on the tube about letting it sit for 24 hours after application- which I did. But I must say I've been impressed by it.

you dont need no gasket maker, or gaskets for that matter, where you want to use this....

Fine, I'll break out a slab of MDF and staple some 800 grit to it. How do I gauge when my flanges are flat? If you give me a method that requires me to take the downpipe or turbo out of the car I'll ******* destroy you.

Another post I read said 800, but whatever. 200 it is! I'm also gonna answer my own question on how I gauge flatness, if the surface is uniform in appearance, it's flat, since I'm sanding with a flat block. Hurrrr.
I'll probably use the copper RTV on there anyway because I don't like dry humping and nobody has confirmed that pieces will eventually come apart when using this cement stuff.

No worries there, they did away with emissions testing here a couple years ago
And I did use too much, even though I put on what I thought was a thin coat, it still squeezed out the sides a little bit :0
