turbo problems still...now new exhaust leak
does anyone have the gaskets off of ebay that are all copper for turbo engines? I just took off my turbo replaced all the gaskets from stock to those copper type and put eveything back on and now I have a bad exhaust leak sound. Did this happen to anyone else or should it be just as quite as it was? Well after doing all that my turbo still doesn't boost so I believe its a bad turbo even though there is no shaft play and it spins freely. Any other suggestions on what would cause a turbo not to boost? THanks.

Not sure about the gaskets, but if they are shitty then they will leak. Try finding which one is leaking and reinstall it. About the non-boosting issue, are all vacuum lines secure and in good condition? Is the wastegate working right? Do you have an aftermarket boost controller or wastegate installed? Stock BOV? Good luck!
