so i was replacing my turbo manifold on my SR20...so i bolted everything back up , go to put coolant in the radiator and it starts leaking from the BANJO FITTING FOR THE COOLANT TO THE TURBO..

i thought it was doing this because i reused the stock copper crush washers

went out and bought some new copper washers from autozone and also some threadsealer...

came home and put it back together and it still leaks even with the new washers...now i dont know if this is because i didnt get the right "CRUSH" washers , i just got copper ones because they are soft and make a seal..

but u guys have any idea? im torquing this bitch down to like 150 lbs
