slow boost build after Remflex install

[89mulletbird]

I have been chasing down something that sounds like an exhaust leak for a long time. I put Remflex gaskets on my pass side header, 3 bolt header/turbo flange, and turbo/downpipe flange. Now the boost is building really slow. Because the gasket is so thick between the turbo/downpipe do you think my puck is not sitting square on the turbo now? I may try to remove this gasket and see if it spools better.

Yes, shouldn't use a gasket between an internal gate downpipe (DP) flange and the turbo exhaust housing. While you are pulling the DP, check that the puck moves freely. They can build up residual that causes them to bind.
