Exhaust manifold and turbo removal

The 2 smaller fiber gaskets laying on top of the stainless steel turbo to exhaust manifold gasket are for the turbo to oil drain line. I am guessing one is for a IHI and the other is for a T3. No clue what the other 2 larger gaskets that look like thermostat gaskets are for.

That threaded hole with nothing in it is for the turbo support bracket. There should be a "Y" shaped turbo support bracket that attaches to the 2 lower bolts of the turbo to exhaust manifold and to that empty bolt hole. Not unusual to people to leave that Y bracket off since it is a PITA to install / remove. I still have mine installed, but it was a real PITA to reinstall when I switched to a T3 20 years ago.
