Gasket maker on turbo outlet

[sjbsuperman1425]

i had a small leak at the compressor outlet flange (maybe causing whining?)..i just went out and used Ultra Black RTV Silicone gasket maker in place of a new one. Thoughts?

should work for a temp fix but i would be looking for the proper gasket to replace it with in the meantime

We tried using that on my friends down pipe and under the high temp. it cracked and blew out within a couple of days.I recommend getting a new gasket as soon as your finances permit...http://www.frsport.com/Turbo-Gasket_c_197.html

yea just used this to troubleshoot.

Got ya. Did it at all fix the whining that you where referring to?

[sjbsuperman1425]

no. im thinking that maybe a really small boost leak might be causing that..theres another thread on here about it.

If you have a air compressor and some plumbing fitting you can make a boost leak tester pretty easy.
