I'm having what appears to be an exhaust leak where the wastegate arm meets my 38mm Tial. Possibly around the dump tube area as well. I can hear the hiss when I get on the gas and the smell of unburned exhaust fumes is coming into the cabin. I'm using the flanges that came with the Tial. They look really thin to me, do you guys know of flanges that are thicker or better to use than those? Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks!

 

Maybe this would be better than the thin metal ones.

They are a little more expensive than the metal ones, but they look beefier for sure.

I diagnosing the leak and blipping my throttle with my nose to the turbo and bubbles started appearing where the WG gasket is. That scared me cause it looked like alot of unburned fuel. But thats probably a whole new issue.

 

It is probably condensation causing the bubbles. Those gaskets with the fire rings are the best. Just buy a couple extra incase you have to take apart later.
