J-Pipe Leak, question

[travislaw]

I was doing a boost leak test this morning and I am leaking air like a civ from where the J-Pipe meets the turbo. I have a new gasket in there and it is still leaking. What else can I use to help seal the leak? Is there any kind of RTV sealant or anything like that, that will work? I would greatly appreciate any advice. And yes I did a search.

Yeah, you can use gasket sealant to get that fixed. I usually put sealant around the BOV and a couple of other places, just to be sure. Never hurts.

You could also try that gasket spray, but I've never used it.

Do you mean between the compressor housing and the j pipe? As for RTV, purchase the gray colored version.

Or you can go ahead and check out www.slowboyracing.com and purchase a gasket for the J Pipe.

I use that stuff on everything, and I never have leaks.
