A discharge gasket is a sealing component used in various systems and equipment to prevent leaks or loss of fluids during the discharge process. It is typically installed at the point of discharge or outlet where fluids or gases are expelled from a system or container. In the context of cars and turbochargers, a discharge gasket is a sealing component used at the outlet of the turbocharger. It is positioned between the turbocharger's turbine housing and the exhaust system, typically at the downpipe connection.
