Hey guys, I have a quick question on my wastegate. I know its a Tial but dont know the mm size.

The question is when I am cruising or just driving for that matter, if I open my windows even the slightest bit or all the way I smell exhaust fumes, same with my sunroof. If I open or tilt it, its insane how much it smells like exhaust inside. Now I went and got every single possible exhaust leak fixed and it has ZERO exhaust leaks. It helped the smell a bit but its still there.

Today I had the car running while looking under the hood I tried smelling all over the engine bay for any type of smell and the only one place I smell exhaust(very strong) is directly by the waste gate. Could this be the reason why it smells horrible in my car constantly if any window is opened and only when the car is in motion? Also is there any way I can maybe route the exhaust exit of it to the bottom or all the way to the back of the car?? :confused:

Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated as I am getting so many headaches due to the smell and today was a warm day and with no a/c in my car I needed to have windows down.

Dam LOL. Yea the radiator is a total mess I have to change that. Idk it looks as tho it was painted? Its all peeling inside. And there is a gasket between turbo housing and manifold.
 
The closer pic leads me to believe the fire-ring is in upside down, thus the gap.
