What sealer to use on Turbo out to intercooler pipe?
I'm have a good leak coming from where the turbo outlet mates to the goose neck pipe. I've replaced the metal gasket twice with no luck. I have the BR adaptor pipe mated to a 20GLT. I have the Ultra Cooper sealer used for exhaust but don't think this stuff will hold 28psi. I don't want to go through the hassle of putting this stuff in just to find out it's not helping. Are there any good sealers that can stand the high temp and the boost I'm running. Thanks
If you are referring to the black pipe that bolts to the turbo, my brother had this same problem. I finally just bought a sheet of gasket material and I cut out two gaskets. After bolting it back up, it was pressure tested and no leaks. I bought it at autozone for like $8.

Yup, the little black gasket that goes on the stock black pipe. I've took it apart and use the ultra cooper on both sides of the gasket, will see if she leaks tomorrow after it cures. If not, I'll be trying what some of you suggested. Thanks
If the sealant doesn't work, def cut ur own gaskets as it sealed 100% with this method.
