Gasket isn’t the issue.
I thought I was smart and used stainless on the turbo one time. It was super fun cutting them off with a hack saw blade held in vice grips.Hope those aren’t stainless.

On mine it galled and they turned into permanent lock nuts. Stainless and something is usually fine, stainless/stainless not so much.Stainless isn't better? We use stainless bolts and nuts on the manifold/turbo's on the 8.3L Cummins here at work and see way less trouble, and they usually come out better if we have to take them apart?

Yall will be the first to know if theyre chit
According to arp they are a286 stainless
That might be ok. I’ve used those stud kits but never on my own stuff. The one of mine I drilled/tapped and used larger bolts never broke one since.
