Ultra copper RTV will seal that leak with no gasket :) Just torque it down correctly

I'm using a nut and bolt in place of one of the O2 housing bolts on the manifold. The helicoil broke and I was running out of options! Maybe I will keep the gasket I have now and just throw on some RTV. The multilayer gasket from FP is $28!!!
 
consider you selfs lucky. i just did the timing belt and balance belt and the pulls and water pump and that small shit. then i put it all back together and i was off 3 teeth and ran like shit. so then i had to redo all the work i just did and that took some more time. then after i get that all done. my plug wires are sparking on the head. had to do all of that. then my valve cover and tube seals were leaking. then this tops it off. after all that the starter keep wininding. so then i ####ing needed a starter. i never had those problems before the belt job. see you do perventive mant. work and still get ####ed in the ass. im all eclipsed out for this week

Yea I put on the FP manifold. It's leaking between the manifold and the turbo.
 
Right, the EVO8/9 turbo bolts aka O2 housing bolts on the front of the FP race.

If your gasket is not burnt, copper spray and re-use.

If it's trashed copper rtv it and tighten.
 
Advance, although they don't know that they do

It's in the permatex section. Small spray can
