Default Exhaust gasket help

Does someone make a sheet of exhaust gasket like they do for other gaskets? Or what is the best option for this. The gasket between my turbo and my downpipe has a big chunk missing from it, and I would kinda like to get it fixed, lol. But I cant find anyone with a gasket for it around, or a sheet of it to withstand the temp. The only suggestion i've gotten is the copper rtv stuff, but I dont think that would hold the pressure. What do you think?

what kinda manifold is it? manifold/kit makers usually sell gaskets seperately in case of such an event.

The header and everything was custom made by a shop... so that really doesnt help.... And all I know is that it's a t4/t3 turbo. I'm not too familiar with turbo's so I'm kinda stuck. How could I tell exactly what it is to go further?

I believe that's a standard DSM part, maybe chase it that way?

I'm pretty sure this is the gasket... but I'm not finding one anywhere for a t3/t4. this is getting kind of annoying. lol. I got this off the hks website but they didnt have the right one listed.
