Exclamation Question about front mount turbo kits!

This front mount turbo kit I got off hinson supercars I have been mocking it together while waiting on more parts I noticed he didn't send gaskets for the crossover pipe that bolts to the factory driver's side manifold and to mount the turbo to the top of the passenger header I asked him he said to use high temp silocone. Will that work? And the O2's, one is in the driver's side of the crossover pipe and the passenger O2 is in the turbo downpipe to the exhaust over a foot down the pipe I am not sure that will work. What are your thoughts?

The gasket that turbonetics sent me is the shape of the T-70 inlet rectangular port while the header has a round port so it does not mate up properly!

I am just wondering what all the other turbo guys use for a gasket and if they have any tuning problems with O2 sensor location on this type of set up!

The O2 sensor location is fine!! No problems tuning!!

Just cut a metal gasket out of an aluminum can!! Or use sensor safe hi-temp silicone!!

Well those gaskets I will be able to use on my drivers manifold gasket but this is what I am talking about the gasket just doesn't quite work on the manifold and I can't seem to find the gasket and I really don't like silicone!

Thats T4 flange gasket will work fine. Because of the way the manifold is constructed there will either be a small amount of turbulence at the gasket, or at the turbo flange mount, ie same difference.
