Hey guys got a problem. Went to the drags this weekend and was doing really good until on my fourth run something went out. I really hope its not the head gasket and I don't think it is.
The symptoms are that I can't build hardly any boost because it is as leaking out around the exhaust manifold. It sounds like there is like a big plastic bag rattling under my hood next to the turbo every time I accellerate. When I mashed the gas at a stop with the hood up, black smoke comes out all around the 6 exhaust manifold ports and more so from the bottom side.
I ordered another set of exhaust manifold gaskets because I just installed this new turbo a month ago and didn't have a new set. Just wondering if that will fix the problem or if there is something bigger wrong here. Hope its not the head gasket. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
