Mine does not leak if i disconnect the actuator from the flapper rod and hold it closed by hand, but I tightened the wastegate actuator all the way I cannot go any tighter and it still leaks.

 

Im not sure what brand mine is. I picked it up off a guy for cheap and it looks to be made of very good quality. Mine leaks like crazy because I used the stock gasket. It sounds like a top fuel car at idle with the cams loping and quite a bit coming out of that pipe. I can see it leaking even with a divided gasket tho since there's really nothing to pull it very tight in the middle where its divided, but im ordering a new gasket tofix mine. Im not looking forward to taking it off tho.

 

I have a used MaPerformance gasket if anyone wants it .

Cheap..

 

Think you might have found your cause for your slow spooling turbo.

 

run it with no gasket and youll have no leaks..

 

a epm dump pipe is post turbo, meaning after turbo, meaning will not affect spool, will affect spool in no possible way, basically means its just an exhaust leak

 

Let me know if anyone needs some high quality gaskets for the O2 dumps. Apparently they made a die to cut them vs. laser cutting a one off. I have a small sheet of gasket material left and should be able to make a few more. I am currently using Mr. Gasket 5961 Ultra Seal Exhaust Gasket Material. Or is any vendor would like some to supply with thier O2 dumps let me know. No middle man to upcharge here.

 

No leak but it dented the bottom of my radiator due to rubbing issues.

 

if your wga rod is bottoming out you need to cut 3 treads off the rod and you should be good to go!! my dump dont leak at all

learned this from Mikey..
