Had a problem with the seal between the pass, header and turbo flange.
Took it apart to have a look see and the copper gasket in there was torched through - about a 2mm gouge right through it.
Anyways, stoned the turbo and header flanges flat and assembled with a small amount of grease as per one of the members suggestions and it still leaks a little.
My question is (finally) Would I be likely to have any more trouble with a copper gasket now I have the flanges flat?
What have you guys had the best luck with? The copper gasket that I installed with my TA49 lasted about 1500 miles if that.
