hey guys.. been searching and no luck.. just ran into a problem. recently my car all of a sudden when i gunned it. it doesnt boost until 4000 rpm. when it usually starts boosting at 3 something. so one morning i went to turn on my car, popped open my hood and felt for any air leaking around the turbo and turbo parts. and i did.. but i dont know what the exact name gasket it is.. oh and if this helps. i got a aftermarket turbo manifold.

the exhaust leak is coming for where the manifold connects to the stock turbo. i checked to see if it was loose screws and that wasnt it. also i checked in the 'crossover parts between usdm and jdm ca18' and still couldnt figure out which gaskets which

thx alot

As an example, this is the gasket type you will require if it is a T2x (ie T25 T28, GT series etc) based manifold you have...

Gasket got smoked! You will need to take the manifold and turbo off and do the necessary repairs.
