Need MSP parts help!

[archedian]

On my MSP today I noticed a noise that sounded like i was in the beginnings of an exhaust leak. However after raising the hood and inspecting further i noticed the sound was not the exhaust itself but the square gasket between the exhaust manifold and turbo had blown out on one side causing the noise.

I have been searching online for one and have found one however it was by luck that i found it by searching for "exhaust manifold to turbo gasket" because most sites do not have that gasket listed in the exhaust section nor in the turbo section. And its hard to find the best deal on a part unless you know exactly what your looking for. So what is the "professional name" for that particular gasket and also i need the actual name and/or site for the 4 stud bolts holding the exhaust manifold to the turbo because they also look to be in bad shape as well.

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

What does it sound like? an air leak? hissing sound? because I have the same thing I think....

T2 flange turbo gasket, get one from ATPturbo.com. DO NOT waste your time with a cheap gasket it will not seal properly, you need a good quality crush gasket.

Well it sounds almost like a muffled rattlesnake sound under the front end but its actually coming from between the exhaust manifold and turbo inlet.

Thank you hornsfan!
I got a new T2 flange turbo gasket, new exhaust manifold gasket, 4 new studs and 8 locking nuts, maybe that will take care of it!

I also think im gonna have to check out my front end a bit more starting to get a popping/clunk noise going over bumps coming from the front end. Thinking its my stabilizer bar end links going out on me, wont know for sure till i check it out more but i heard that is a common problem on MSP's.

I think you only need 4 nuts for that flange. Anyway yes worn front swaybar bushings and endlinks can cause the clunk you hear as well as bad strut mounts.

Hey, ya, everyday I drive I do like a 5 minute pre-drive inspection, and I noticed under the hood like a couple days ago, when it starts up, I hear like a hissing/air leak noise coming from the engine bay, I can't quite figure where its coming from since theres so much going on.
Shall I replace my gasket turbo and exhaust manifold gasket just like archedian?

Sometimes my wideband says im running super lean? I don't know if thats because I have a big ass gap in my plugs .44 which I will change soon or cauz of the leak
