Turbo gasket keeps blowing! - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I just finished getting the new manifold on like a week ago, because the gasket between the turbo and mani was leaking. I just got a new manifold to make sure it wasn't warped or anything. I didn't want to replace it with a stock one, so I got one of the redesigned ssautochrome ones (ebay special). The fitment seemed really good. Three days after I had it together, I heard an exhaust leak starting. I knew what it was right away... the gasket between the manifold and turbo. Why is it blowing? Is my turbo warped, or could it just have been a crappy gasket? Should I try one of those stainless ones off of ebay like this one? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...spagename=WD1V

Thanks for any help,
Jesse
