[SMOKEDYA]

Is there an easy way to find an exhust leak?I got the turbo installed but have a leak on the passangerside somewhere.Kinda hard to find right now as for i DONT have the DP hooked up to the rest of the exhust.I need to fab up my Y pipe first.peace

hmm.. is it that permitex stuff, the copper seal for like gaskets and whatnot? i've used that before but on top of a gasket..

i still torque mine good with aluminum heads. your not getting that much leverage with a small box wrench.

i used it on head gaskets for my quads to promote a good seal. i have never heard of it being used by itself, but i don't have a lot of experience with it.

i'd guess that's your problem for sure lol. i'm not a turbo guy though

I have heard of many people using only the permitex, but I know some people still use gaskets. I would try going with a gasket and permitex and see if it seals it.

Well i'll go out and make sure it's all tight.Just hoping for an easier way (maybe a spray or something) so i dont have to pull the DP to check everything.When we did my buddies turbo notch all we used was the copper sealant. peace
