This turbocharger gasket seals the joint between the turbocharger and the exhaust manifold or the turbocharger and the intake piping on the host tractor. It prevents exhaust gas leaks and maintains the correct backpressure required for proper turbocharger spooling and boost control. A failed gasket produces a whistling noise, reduces engine power, and can allow unfiltered air into the intake system. The gasket is manufactured by AGCO to match the original sealing surface geometry, ensuring the clamp load is evenly distributed across the flange without distorting the housing. On reinstallation, clean both mating surfaces thoroughly and tighten the mounting hardware to the specified torque.
