dude i would just find a good welder locally and have them weld that flange adaptor to the manifold. 2 bolt gaskets blow out and leak like its going out of style.
I tried copper, stainless, oem tial gaskets, stainless with copper spray, no copper spray, just copper rtv, tried it all. They would all leak, or the two bolts would back out, or the bolts would snap. tried different bolts, new oem, stainless, hardened, etc etc.

Solid copper was by far the best. Also the head flange on that manifold is thicker then stock, so I'd recommended new OEM studs, oem copper locknuts, and oem spring washers. Because its going to stress the studs more than stock. Also don't waste your time with stainless it will snap after a day or two of driving, has to be heat treated oem to last. New OEM turbo bolts and spring washers too.

Lol sorry to ramble, I just has such a bitch of a time with that manifold when I had one. This setup should be a blast though. Enjoy.
