Right lads, how many of you lads use FireGum on your outlet manifolds. I have been putting it on the gasket but it makes a right mess of the head.

I have always done it, as it would not seal and would piss out fuel on boost. I have started posting on Instagram also my name on there is turbomk1golf

Although they have only had limited running so far I have 2 turbo A-Series cars that are fine without anything but a gasket. |

ive never used sealant bar on the manifold to downpipe join that usually gets a very light smear Crystal Sound Audio said:

I use sealant on the turbo to manifold flange, but not head to manifold.

Like wil, I use firegum on the turbo, both to the manifold and, if appropriate, the elbow to manifold.

There seems to be a wide variation in the thicknesses of both exhaust and inlet manifold flanges and if they aren't both identical, one or the other won't seal. I made some stepped washers rather than use sealant. Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ??? |
