Which exhaust gasket is this? 3rd Gen

Hi, I've been chasing an exhaust leak for the past week and finally located it. The culprit is circled in my image, it has a spilt in the portion that is exposed near the bottom.



Is this one of the Turbo to manifold gaskets?
If so which one (N3A2-13-710 or N3A1-13-710)

Thanks!

Very typical of the paper gaskets. They all blow out eventually. Fortunately yours blew out in a place that you could see. Replacing it is something of big job since the twins and basically everything else has to come out to remove the LIM.

Thats what I was thinking about accessing it, might be time for Efini twins or to rebuild the turbos while I have them off. Thanks for the insight guys.
