exhaust leak after turbo swap

hey guys,

this past weekend i installed my ix turbo and titek o2 housing.when i started the car,you can here an exhaust leak,but only when the RPM's start to drop.For example if i rev the motor to 2500RPM's,you can here it when i let go of the gas..you can here it a little at idle.i checked almost everywhere i could think.It sounds like metal gasket hitting another metal gasket.The sound is coming from the left side of the motor.Any ideas where else to check?thank you

well man Not sure what to tell you thats not already obvious. the only places it can leak really is between the mani and the head the mani and the turbine inlet, o2 housing and hotside, or o2 to downpipe.

Did you reuse or replace the gaskets? I say pull it back apart and find the faulty gasket and replace it (or replace all while you're in there).
