mazdatrix or the dealer. Get ready to pay out the ass. IIRC the motor to manifold gasket is around 50 US dollars. Yes, that's 50 (fifty) Mcdubs.

What brand of turbo does an RX-7 use? Or at least, how is the hot side flanged?
Might I suggest wheel bearing grease for the turbo to manifold gasket? Just apply it and try really nicely for 5-10 miles so the grease heats up and crystallizes creating a carbon gasket.

I wasn't looking for a used gasket just hoping someone might have something lying around. I knew it was a long shot. The motor to manifold is 15 dollars for a cheap one but the other two are quite expensive.
I am going to end up making them out of copper.
