Can sum1 please tell me why i keep blowing my exhast manifold gasket, and before you all say i gave it to much i had my kids and my partner in the car so the boost was on 7pound lol.
Its been perfect since the rebuild about 2years, now in three days its done two gaskets same place the end cylinder near the dizzy. It blows a big piece out of the top right quater? I tensioned all bolts to spec cold and hot. I was thinkin maybe my manifold is warped or head I dunno any ideas guys its F'n me off.
cheers

The "turbo is welded to the exhaust manifold"... What fucking RETARD would weld a frikken turbocharger housing to a manifold......... chroisssst!
OK, you manifold, as mentione above is just warped.
take it off and have an engine shop flatten it for you.
While your at it, have a look inside where the turbo bolts on and if the divider in the flange is melted and warped, have them grind that out.
Problem solved.
