Has anyone found an exact or good copy of the foam tape used to seal the 240 firewall panel and shown below?

The RV industry makes extensive use of butyl tape to seal surfaces. Comes in colors, widths and thicknesses.

I've used that in the past, but it's not really the same thing as original.

Are you trying to seal it or win the Concours D'elegance at Pebble Beach?

I'm trying to seal it without the sticky goop that happens after it gets warm being right behind the exhaust.
McMaster might have some buna foam tape that will work. They carry a surprising amount of foam sheets as well.
Also, look into Gasket Specialties in Portland. They do water jet cut foam (and a bunch of other stuff). We use them for custom gaskets (paper, foam, rubber) all the time.

Cut your own out of epdm pond liner if you don't want stickiness.

McMaster was my thought too, but after browsing through their many strip and sheet thickness and material choices I couldn't find one item that was TB priced. Faced with the OP's challenge I guess I'd cave and go with RTV applied sparingly.

Factory 240Turbo Heat-shield set w/many heat-shields for the DP & internally ceramic coated DP?
That said, they make various thickness tapes for high-temp wiring passing thru flanges like the 240 removable firewall panels?
Failing that, high temp version of EPDM pond liner & exacto-knife w/spray glue or get them cut according to the 240 pattern? Group buy on TB in 2022?
B280, SBC or SBF conversion? Thought turbo redblocks passe/defective ex/B21F(E)T (same difference, mechanically engine-wise (just management, wastegate pressure & sans cat/02 sensor)) (restore it to socks?), u no herd?
