Downpipe Gasket
« on: 21 June 2010, 21:40 »
Apparently it needs replacing, is it a big job to fit? Also will i notice a gain in boost at all with a new one fitted? thanks guys

it could be a pain if your talkin about the turbo to downpipe gasket as the bolts holding the downpipe to the turbo can be a b!tch to get too. You should be able to hear it blowing if the gasket is shot

You may be down on power from this but i dont think you'd be losing boost.

agreed could be a pain to get to... but shouldnt effect your boost.
