Re: exhaust leak from turbo to manifold

use a gasket
tighten the bolts
fix a possibly warped turbo flange

Re: exhaust leak from turbo to manifold

I have the same problem dude. My spool is much slower than it should be. Im just letting it go for now until i put on my new turbo. But i would suggest some type of gasket and tighten down those bolts.
