major exhaust leak at manifold
 

I dont know whatsup...installed the turbo a bit back and i replaced the gasket for the mani, and every time i hit the throttle it spits out exhaust. its an hf mani to the y8, no cracks or anything in the mani...bolted down tight. any suggestions?

When you say gasket for the mani are you talking about the gasket for the head or the gasket to the adapter plate?

Could your homemade adapter plate be warped

naa its the gasget for the head. it spits out around cylinder # 2...thats it :-\

is it a thin metal gasket. i had a friend who used a thin metal gasket on his turbo to manifold and it leaked pretty bad there.

I haven't heard of head flanges warping on stock cast manifolds, but you could check it with a straight edge to be sure.

You sure there isn't another gasket stuck on there?

Did you even read

i took off the old gasget, bought a brand new one straight from honda. and a big leak.. :-\
