Default re-using gasket

I went to the honda dealrship by my house to get a new gasket for my turbo manifold and they guy working there said it was re-usable because it was metal. He said he had a boosted civic and he has re-used his a bunch of times. Is this ok to do? If so what other gaskets are reusable? I have an old gasket for the turbo inlet that is metal is that re-usable? help me out.

If it is a metal gasket, it is reusable. Many cars use these types of gaskets. As long as they're clean, you can reuse them.
