What sealant should I use between the turbo housing and the exhaust manifold?

The green book calls for a "hi temp" sealant. Duh. But at the typical autoparts store the hi temp sealant's rated temps are around 700F. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hey, thanks for replying. I found some at a volvo dismantler. The D24 vs D24T spools are different. Mainly the mount on the injection pump. Thanks again!
