So I noticed that a good amount of exhaust is coming out of where the turbo mates to the manifold. Im running a stainless steel gasket that I got off ebay. Dont know if theyre good or not.

Whats the best way to fix this leak? Should I get another gasket and double up? Remove it all together and be gasketless? Use some sort of sealant? Its a pretty big leak. Im trying to avoid having it decked and have to pay a shop to do that. Any input is appreciated.

should i use that in conjunction with the gasket or alone?

i've had this same problem for like a year now. blown thru metal gaskets, the "cardboard" and corrugated metal gaskets, copper rtv... you name it.

still haven't solved it either. i'm thinking i need to brace my downpipe better so there's not so much weight pulling the turbo down, letting some exhaust leak out.

I don't run any gasket. If the surface is flat than you shouldn't need a gasket.

Im thinking this is whats making my car so rich since im losing metered air.

Im not hitting full boost (just 5lbs off the wg)..im guessing this is whats stopping me.

Happened to me on Tony's dyno...right before closing time. Didn't get to finish tune
Still made 286/195 @7lbs. Going back for more soon.
No gasket now...just wave-loc washers keepin her tight. Cast mani.
Hondas don't meter the air.
