another manifold/turbo seperation

I've not run a gasket between the manifold and turbo or turbo and downpipe.

Straight metal on metal no leaks at all.
Use "belleville" (fancy word for a cupped serrated spring) washers all around.

If the flange metals are of similar type, thickness and flat then a gasket just adds  a potential point of failure.

If the gasket burns thru, the threads lose their bite. Heat and vibration do their thing .....blah blah blah  s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

Perhaps your EGTs are exceedingly high?

could be, i've got no guage to check that out, think i'll get her into Thor asap and get them to check everything out, i'll run the trackday at a sensible boost level

Nuts (4 needed per turbo)  Nissan part no 144320B700   £2.10 each

they are identical to those used on teh TTET
