regarding a holset hx35. pretty sure theres supposed to be paper gasket in between the comp housing and the center section… i remember when i first took it apart last year what looked to be a thin gasket , but there was nothing really left to it so i scraped it out… I never noticed anything really… How much boost could i be losing here?

the comp housing is on tight as hell with the snap ring, i imagine at high boost it would be losing something right??

Without a gasket mine leaks pretty good. To fix it without buying a gasket I put a thin layer of Ultra Grey RTV on the back plate and then put on the compressor cover and the snap ring. No problems at all with this method.

OR you can always destroy a cereal box if you’re handy with an xacto knife. Best source for all paper gaskets!
