Turbo gasket Part #??? and where Edit with updates and pics
Ok It looks as if I need to attempt to replace my turdo gasket. I found that my exhaust had become very loud and during my investigation found a missing bolt on the Mani and 3 of the 4 nuts missing off the studs holding on the turbo and my gasket sticking out shown here: I really have no clue what think I may be able to get this done. Anyone know where I can get the gasket and what part number it is so I don't have issues once I get it all apart?
Any pointers would more then appreciated.
EDIT::
So I finally managed to get a Gasket thank's to Bill Slo3.5msp. When I finally started to tear into her I found some very interesting things. It seems my car likes to save the bolts it spits out up behind the "s" pipe. I also learned that I guess she doesn't like bolts cause I found several missing. The s pipe it self was being held on by 2 bolts and the turbo was hang'n there by 1!! I also came to find out that the metal gasket basically exploded. Lucky none of those metal pieces went into the turbo.
I got this from MSProtegy: Which gave me the confidence to do it myself

its not that hard really. ive done this uninstall/install within a few hours.
first jack the car up and put in on jack stands
next you need to drain all the liquids from the car
then take out eveything that will be in your way, ie. IC piping, Intake, radiator fan, etc.
then take out all the manifold bolts, which (if im correct) are 12mm. now with this you will have to use a combanation wrench, and a swivle to get to some of the bolts.
take all of them off but the two center ones which are nuts instead of bolts.
before you pull your turbo/manifold assembly off, disconect all of your water lines and oil lines leading to the turbo. also disconect your exhaust at the s-pipe to j-pipe.
once you have everything off, take off the two nuts and pull the turbo/manifold assembly through the top of the engine bay.
then get to work on taking the turbo off of the manifold. use some good penatrant to soak the nuts on the manifold for a few min. cause it will just make everything easier.
replace gasket, missing nut, and install eveything all over again.
i hope this was helpful.(thumb)
