I had an exhaust leak between the manifold and turbos. I decided to fix it myself and save some $$$ on labor. It took me about 7 hours to pull the turbos off, working slowly over a course of 3 days. I labeled every hose so I wouldn't mix them up. I'll probably pull the manifold today, but am still waiting for oil line gaskets and the gaskets that go on the compressors and exhaust exits of the turbos. JR's Rotary ordered them for me so hopefully I'll have it back together by the end of the week. Here are some pics.

 

here's another shot

 

sr uprgraded twins off the car

 

The oil lines appear to be dripping some oil so I'm going to replace the gaskets and copper washers.

 

good work. time to install that single turbo

 

Na no single for me yet. Untill after I get some wider wheels. I pulled the manifold today and changed those two gasketsand put it back on. Just waiting for Ito to get me the oil line and turbo gaskets.

 

So the midpipe wasn't leaking?

 

I thought I blew out the resonator in the midpipe, but that wasn't it. I think when I bottomed out thats when I blew a bunch of gaskets. I replaced all the exhaust gaskets, and now am doing the ones by the turbo. Thats where my biggest leak is.

 

Leaks add "flavor" to otherwise plain air.

 

Well my leak was making me loose power. Exhaust that would otherwise be turning the turbos was leaking out.
