Re: does this look like there'd be boost leak?
 

nah, i just read it and it said it should have no problems with high temerature.

I don't hold much confidence in it. That's just me. All -------rigged. Get the flange shaved down flat. Unless of course I'm wrong and it holds and I was dumb for me getting it shaved down for $40.

Could you have those spots welded and ground flush?

Re: does this look like there'd be boost leak?
 

its not that its not flat, both surfaces were perfefly flat, but the flange in the mani was completely square, and the flange on the t3 kinda rounded on the edges, so it stuck out a little on the side (but still completely flat) so i just had to put something to fill that little gap, so that i wouldnt have an exhaust leak.

Dude get real these guys are yanking your chain.
That gasket stuff is a joke no way its going to hold.
Go to a hardware store. Buy a sheet off copper thats 2mm thick and fabi your own gasket.
High Temp LOL ::)

read the back of the permatex tube

it says it doesnt like gasoline, personally i think u could of been good without it

my flanges had flux all over them from welding on them and they dont leak one single bit
the trick is to tighten the ---- outta your new bolts before you run them

^ coo thanx.

Re: does this look like there'd be boost leak?
 

the flanges are different...its not a matter of tightening the bolts down more

I would just start the thing up and then go from there. Don't ask questions like this. If it is something that isn't gonna break anything, then wait til you konw it is a problem, then ask.

The oil line question was stupid, but worth asking kinda. The turbo takes a ---- if you didn't fix that thing. If you don't fix this, then your car just makes a small sputtering noise.
