Replacing Blown Greddy Turbo Gasket

[9krpm]

My friends recently installed a set of Greddy T618Z to my RB26DETT. It's been around 2000km and the supplied Greddy gaskets between the 2 turbo and 2 dumps shat themselves at the same time. The gaskets were the older gasket styles and did not look that reliable when we installed. I just order 2 sets of permaseal gaskets from GCG. Is there anything I should replace while I am at it?

How good are the Greddy supplied bolts and nuts? Should I use some better bolts and lock nuts instead of reusing the Greddy stuffs?

Also this will be my first time pulling the dump pipes out, is there any special trick to speed up the process? Do I need to pull the turbo out?

Thanks in advance I don't really want to do this again so any pointer will be much appreciated.
