    I have gone ahead and ordered some turbo to manifold gaskets, but is there any gasket maker that will hold up in a turbocharged application?
    I wouldn't mind putting a little bit around gaskets for a bit of insurance.

    Look for ones that are specifically recommended for use on Exhausts, they're surely to have quite high temp ratings.

    swapped CT12A's many times and have never replaced this gasket. its embedded into the flange and as long as you clean the faces and tighten the turbo properly you shouldnt have any problems.

    only gaskets ive ever replaced are the oil feed/drain gaskets on the core and thats because the black plastic layer was flaking away. water lines i used silastic to reseal. have never used liquid gasket on any other surface other than the water lines. manifold gaskets are almost indestructable.

    to answer the OP's original question, imo no if they are all in good physical condition. inspect them well.
