Righto guys, now as aid in the title. Im running a tb42 with a turbo. now im having a lot of troubles with the exhaust gasket blowing out. its set to 10psi. and i don't usually run it too hard i was wondering if any1 has run without a gasket and just with some liquid gasket or something instead to prevent the problem. or is there a certain brand of gasket that will withstand a bit more pressure?? Maby like a td42 one??

any help would be appreciated. thx

ye the gasket at the turbo is fine. just keeps blowing the engine side one. gone through 3 now and cant solve problem. all 3 in different locations. all studs and nuts are fully tightened. placed manifold on a glass bench and sits perfectly flat. so no warping. I'm stumped.
