There are lots of gasket sets on ebay but no individual ones, I think you will have to got to a dealer

Does it actually have a gasket fitted there ?

Remind me which vehicle the engine came out of (and rough year) and I'll try to drag up a pic of the items concerned

Some do not just have a flat fitting.

engine is from a 98 406 1.9

the turbo is a garret gt1549.

i took the turbo off the exhuast manifold, i dont recall a gasket being there , and as i cand find any trace of one on the net, maybe there isnt one?

i had an engineer take the exhaust elbow off of the turbo as the bolts were cooked, so i have no idea if there was a gasket in there, I can find similar shaped looking gaskets about the internet, but none for this one.

if theres no gaskets, so much the better

I recall mine (205) did not have any although I am going back a few years. Just checked all with yours, no sign of gaskets. Just clean the mating faces carefully and refit.
