j-pipe to turbo gasket leak!

after doing a boost leak test today we discovered a major boost leak coming from j-pipe to the turbo. I have a new gaskets and was wondering if it was a PINA to replace the gasket before I even start to try. thanks

Nope. Straight forward as anything. All you need is ratchet extenders and torque specs...small hands help too

You can also use a little bit of red RTV on each side of the gasket to help seal it.

I changed the gasket. It looked fine when i took it out. It holds boost a little better but still leaks. I will try a little rtv gasket and see how that works..
