exhaust leak blues...tips for sealing the downpipe

[fireberd350]

I found my leak(well one of them )....it is where the DP and the elbow meet at the turbo.

how can i fix this....I have tried everything. it does not seem like there is any way it can seal up the way it sits in there and only being held in by 2 bolts.....

the DP itself has a little lip that slide into the elbow opening....is there anything i can put around that to keep it sealed up?

thanks, steve?

leak

Isn/t there suppose to be a donut gasket in there?

 

[HOTSIX]

Yup...

U need a doughnut gasket there 4 sure.

I think Rohl makes one - check UAP / NAPA for others too...
I got one on mine - no leak at all...

any one got a part # ?

also, The ONLY place where theres a gasket on my entire exhaust system is where my ATR uppipe and turbo meet there is a copper gasket.....am I missing any other ones?

I have a ATR down pipe and they gave me there donut gasket with it.............I am sure they sell it seperatly too. Only gaskets I am using are the header gaskets, up pipe to turbo, and the wastegate/exhaust elbow to downpipe.

Gasket

Sorry guys your all mistaken, that's one of the 12 (0-60 downpipes no gasket goes there. I have the same pipe and mine does not leak there. It's posible that either the flange is not filed strait or the turbine side of your turbo is clocked slightly off not allowing a flush seal.

man, i just ordered one of them gaskets too
does anyone need one

i didn't think a gasket could go there but I don't see how else it will seal. I guess I'm just gonna have to keep trying to fudge with it.

thanks, boostmaster
