Had the two left bolts back out and cause an exhaust leak, tightened them and it was still leaking, so i took everything off and this is what i found. stick to metal gaskets, or just silicone and no gasket. HMT baby!!!

I like copper, dont have to replace it every time I have the turbo off like the stainless ones. Cant ------- find them in t3 anymore though.

make sure both flanges are bare, clean and flat and run no gasket.

its not easy to make that flat...
it might leak any way

just use SS gasket works the best
