today i noticed i kinda had an exhaust leak comin from under my hood..i looked and felt some air coming from where the wastegate mounts to the manifold..(drag manifold and tial 38mm wastegate) the front side is fine..the back side the manifold kinda is scraped down so it looks like the gasket isnt keeping it sealed. what could i use to clog up the gap..like 1 inch or so long and its really really thin.

 

the gasket probably blew out.. the supplied gaskets suck *****. just remove the gasket and reinstall the wg... the fire ring in the tial will seat flush against the manifold preventing any leaks

 

yea i was set at 18psi now its only going up to 16psi...where would i get a new gasket?
