My gasket from the jpipe to turbo was shot, and i took the jpipe off and it looks like it got bent, is it suppose to look like this? Should n't it be completly flat correct?


thanks

That looks bent. You will need to replace it with a new j pipe in order have a sealed gasket between it and the turbo to avoid leaks.

If the j-pipe flange is bent like that, it is definitely the cause of you gasket blow out. I've seen turbo exhaust gaskets do the same thing from a missing bolt.
