I know I'll be the only one to have a negative post, but it's my true feelings about this stuff. It might be working well for others, however in my younger days on the ole RS-T, I chose to use the copper RTV for a gasket between my 50 trim and a custom flange I made for the 5 bolt hot side (couldn't find a flange to weld onto my DP). I put a heavy bead on the flange and a light smear of it on the turbo for a nice seal. But it didn't. I attempted this over 2 more times, but with no luck. I just ended up purchasing some flange material and cut my own gasket. Endo problems and story.
