when my leak first started I had the stock manifold, i didnt install the aftermarket until i was replacing everything. i bought it secondhand perhaps it was fucked up idk, scrap metal now anyways so it doesnt really matter lol.

Im not running a diesel or mitsubushi turbo so using grease or rtv in place of a gasket sounds sketch, also i really dont want to spot weld any bolts.. but thanks for the suggestions
