Lcr manifold-turbo blowing

[swoosh225]

Hello all hope someone knows the answer I've just been at work and had me car on the ramp, I've been getting a squealing noise when on boost! It's definitely not inlet side ive checked this several times and I'm not loosing boost. Had a look and theres signs of a exhaust gas blow between the exhaust manifold and the turbo.

Is there a gasket between the two?

Any help would be appreciated cheers

Yes but I think this is a common problem on these it's not a gasket the manifold cracks seen it a few tines now you can weld it or buy a new one but no harm in trying a gasket tho I could be wrong altogether lol

Oh no I do hope it's just the gasket thanks for the advise

the bolts / lugs on my turbo came out slightly causing the same noise, had the turbo off, them tapped back into place, perfect since..

Take no notice of Pyro, it's almost always the gasket that's blown.

Thanks mate thought a cracked manifold would be blowing slightly on idle, I'll change the gasket first then
