This is a dumb question but want other opinions, this is my single turbo manifold, that gasket and the lack of better term “ wet look “ around the bolt area caught my attention, first does it seem that gasket is sitting right? And what is that wet looking area about? Is this gasket trashed? Sorry for the not so great picture kind hard to get down to with my phone

 

If that gasket was blown you would know it - it would be making some very loud and obnoxious noises.

There's nothing that gasket does that holds back anything "wet", that could just be discoloration on the manifold or something dripped onto the manifold from above.

its possible its too rich or you're using too much premix too.

 

I figured that gasket would be rowdy if it was blown just needed better verification, the wet spot I thought may be from super rich which the car is running, but wouldn’t that mean leaking gasket? Either way your guys opinion is it’s fine yeah? Car is going in for final tuning want to make sure theirs ZERO issues when I head down to the tuner

 

If you want to be certain, when the car is STONE COLD start the car and feel around that area for exhaust leaks, you can easily feel/hear them if they are there.
