Default exhaust leak from turbo to manifold

i have a slight leak where the turbo and manifold meet only in the front the rear and sides i have checked for leaks and none only the front slightly. i have no drops in boost at all though, but i do not kno if it is affecting performance(damn the butt dyno lol). could anyone suggest maybe how to seal this leak? and wat type of affects this would damper(spool time, power ect).
thanks for any help

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.
