Something is still leaking and rattling.... hmmm...

Guess what I found under my turbo heat shield...

Now I need some stainless welding done... Any ideas before I just take it to Sid?
I can have that welded up for you for free next week if you don't have other options.

And make sure you retorque that copper gasket soon or you will get another leak.

And btw the OEM gaskets are actually pretty good, but they don't work well with the distortion and misalignment of many aftermarket headers and UPs.
