Default exhaust leak from turbo
I finally decided to fix my exhaust leak that I've had for a few months and couldn't quite pinpoint it so I decided to replace all the gaskets that looked questionable... I replaced them and still leaks.

It turns out the it is leaking from where the hotside meets the cartridge. I've tried to tighten down the bolts but no luck. When I was building the motor I took the turbo apart and sandblasted the mating areas to clean them of debris and were good when first run. I'm thinking I cracked the hotside. Anyone have this happen before??
