just pulled the turbos

so, got the new motor in, and one of the DP studs was broken on the turbo housing....so i had a fat exhaust leak. I just got the turbos off and thought to myself
"I have a DP, GUTTED CAT, and HKS c/ti CB...I should probably do some WG porting while I have them off."

So, that is what I am going to do after I extract the broken stud out. BTW, since the motor went in with the new turbo gaskets, i haven't driven it...just started it a few times...is there any reason why I can't still use the turbo to manifold gaskets and the DP gasket too? I don't see any evidence of soot...

If you're mating back together all the same parts, then the same gaskets are probably fine.

If you're mating any different parts, it would be wise to put in a new gasket at that joint. But you can cheap out and use the existing gasket at risk of minor exhaust leakage.

yeah, i am not one to cheap out typically, but considering these are the same parts going back on, nothing different, I figured there isn't an issue.
