Ok I have a Spec V 04-05 model. I have an exhaust leak between the turbo and the exhaust manifold I need that gasket because mine has cracked. I believe that is a T3 Turbine housing on that turbo i just need some one to confirm this for me before i order a gasket cause i will only have one day to replace this gasket then have to be able to drive car again. Its a Pain in the A$$ to get this thing apart also so any and all help will be appreciated. This is not my first time up to bat with this gasket though. For some odd reason they just keep splitting. Come on guys at T'netics we need some sort of kick ass gasket material here. I was thinking of making my own out of a sheet of copper but i think the copper would melt.

Please Help
Thanks Josh Rebecca

Yes it definitely a T3 turbine inlet. As for it leaking are you sure you aren't over-torquing the mounting bolts?

its been a really long week for me just a bunch of bad stuff has happened daily, but that really quick response made it better and the feeling that i am gonna be able to stop this exhaust leak once and for all has me happy. My apt is a mess at the moment from a robbery that happened WED and i have no idea where my installation instructions are so you would not happen to have the torque specs for those 4 bolts would you ?

since no one sells gaskets around here I made my own out of a sheet of aluminum from lowes works like a champ
