Replacing intake elbow gasket
#1
I've spotted what looks like oil spray on the bulkhead just along from the EGR valve. I'm worried that the previous owner hasn't fitted the inlet elbow back with a proper seal, and it might have a little boost leak there? A new one was put on with a take-off for a gauge.

I've bought a new gasket, but have heard that this job is a bit of a bastard?

Any tips before I embark on it this weekend?

Boost gauge only hits 11psi peak, on a stage 1+, which I'm told is too low really...

I wouldn't bother with the peugeot gasket, they're too thin to use there as they always leak.

I would ether use a good liquid gasket or make a gasket out of an old cereal box.

Mine stage 1 with problems and hitting just below 15psi so yeah your low bud and I have the same problem with splutter, one the reasons I'm buying a low mileage engine and doing a bit of work to it been out the engine bay and able to get to that part along with the turbo before I chuck it in
