Default Need some Help

Mates RS Turbo keep blowing exhaust gaskets. He's gone through about 6 of them in under 2 weeks. He's running a stainless manifold to t34 turbo only running 10psi of boost.

Just need some idea of what could be causing it and any remedies you might have ie uprated gaskets.

Cheers

the thing that could be causing the damage is either the cylinder head, or the manifold. one of them might not be flat, or could be damaged. and a small leakage can cause a failed gasket in a matter of hours
