I had a few exhaust leaks at the turbo so i went ahead and ordered a few gaskets from Extreme PSI one is the new 6 ply turbo manifold to turbo gasket https://www.extremepsi.com/store/product.php?productid=29669&cat=0&page=1
I know it says:
**PLEASE NOTE: OUR 7CM HOUSING GASKETS WILL ONLY FIT MHI 7CM TURBINE HOUSINGS! WE'VE HAD ISSUES WITH KNOCKOFF TURBOCHARGERS NOT ALIGNING CORRECTLY DUE TO CASTING MISALIGNMENT**
But i figured a FP Red exhaust housing would not fall into the"KNOCKOFF" category, I guess you shouldn't assume. First 4 pics are of the gasket on the exhaust housing, the last is the gasket on the manifold. It amazes me that there is that much of a difference in fitment between the manifold and the exhaust housing.
As you can see with just 2 bolts in the gasket is way off and would be impossible to get the other 2 in without modifying or destroying the gasket. But the gasket lines up perfect on the manifold.
Now gotta call extreme on Monday and order one that will fit properly, i know they cant test all combinations but when making a new product I think they should do testing on some of the more popular setups as this will help customers make a better decision on whether to buy a certain product or not.
But the biggest plus for this would be too eliminate even more downtime for the customers car "like we need more of that" . Another transaction on the CCard etc etc..
