No, you're right of course. I think everthing fits fine (only thing not stock is the Crucial UP), but next time I'm going to replace the hardware and make sure I follow a good DIY (like Dean's recent suggestion) on the correct order to tighten everything. I think I normally start from the turbo and work down.

My first leak was the Exhaust Manifold > Up Pipe Gasket but it was a copper gasket so I switched that one to OEM. Then I sprung a leak between the passenger side header and the block. I replaced every single gasket between the UP and the block and I don't know where it's leaking now. I've ignored it for almost a year since it always seals up once the motor warms up.
