Hey guys, Just was wondering what could cause the turbo/maifold gasket to burn up so quick. It seems like it goes bad every 3 months. I was guessing the manifold is warped and its not flush with the turbo. That's the only guess I have. Any suggestions?

Wish I had $2,800 for enjuku racings new top mount t3/t04 setup.....That would solve my problem!

Burning (or leaking) oil, over torquing of the bolts and running really really rich can go through gaskets quickly (particularily exhaust gaskets) from what i've experienced. but those are further down towards the cat generally.

Or if you use a flat head screw driver to pry your turbo off your manifold :( did that once, blew out 2 stainless gaskets in like 2 dayz.
