How did you guys seal your turbo flanges?
I was wondering how people are sealing there flange from WG to manifold and from the manifold to head. Is there any better gasket to use for the manifold to head? Has anyone tried using RTV high temp sealant on the WG to manifold and dumptube, mine leaks under boost, not bad but enough to leave it a little black looking. Let me know your experiances and the results, thanks!

i just used the flange they sent me for the turbo/manifold, and the same way for the manifold/engine. as for my TiAL w/g, i'm not using a flange, i just tightened the bolts down nice and tight and i don't notice any performance loss. good lord i recommend a downpipe though, i don't use one and it smells like *** when i'm at a stoplight >_<
