exhaust leak? if ur using the stock gate just shim the mounts a bit. If all ur pipes are sealed well its just a matter of putting a few washers between the gate and the turbo body.

the exhaust isnt connected up yet its open downpipe at the moment. no mbc is not hooked up yet

might sound stupid, but are you using a gasket between the turbo and mani?

no i couldent find a gasket at the autoparts store but the downpipe is on there tight

downpipe doesnt matter. pull the turbo and put grease around on the flange like a gasket. its supposed to burn and form carbon that acts as a gasket
