My Turbo Intercooler Setup

[iron_giant]

David,
I was going to try and run two exhaust gaskets to cure my exhaust leak but after talking to a very knowledgable friend I've decided to pull everything and have all surfaces flattened and only run one gasket. i know some people do the two gasket thing succesfully on the f/2f motors, but exhaust gaskets are not designed to withstand much pressure, and I'd be worried about future leaks. My point, I agree with Wayne that re-surfacing the flanges is the way to go, as anything else would be masking the problem and a potential trouble point in the future. Maybe, I'm paranoid, but I'd rather do it all correctly the first and only time. I dream of twelve pounds of boost!!!!!

I agree .. and after my weekend trip I will pulling all out to make both flanges and in metal gasket there .. there ir no option .. in the same way I change my factory exhaus gaskets ..

Here in Panamá ( not more fresh weather ) 13.5 PSI and 130 + km /h means a lots of hot in my engine ..

IMOP it means hi HP generation .. anycase lota fun !
