i can hear a serious exhaust leak comming from my turbo area, and i checked and there is air pouring out from the manifold connection to the turbo. I already got a new gasket from heavy throttle, has anyone had to do this to their SR? any suggestion on the easiest way to drop the turbo?, i also noticed that the side the air is leaking out, there is no nut there.... do u think thr gasket is fine and it just needs a nut? Thanks for any help.

 

thats easy to try, just get in there and tighten that biatch down

 

Happened to my friends SR, he was leaking boost. He tighted it up and everything is good after that

 

ive taken everything off the turbo because i need to replace the gasket, and the hotpipe is coated in oil...... yea, i talked to my mechanic and said if its not too much then it moight not be anything but i dunno. does anyone else have this problem?

 

To get a good seal you gotta have all the hardware!!! When the turbo heats up and cools down the nut may have backed off, replace it and keep an eye on it.

 

pull the entire manifold, turbo, and outlet pipe(J-pipe), i think it is impossible to get only the turbo out of the car with the rest of the stuff connected.
