Hi guys my car leaks exhaust gas from the turbo to the down pipe when the engine is under load. I have been told that there is no gasket between the turbo and the down pipe it this correct? I have checked that the bolts are tight.

Has anyone else has this problem?

there no gasket, unless you've had the down pipe off, its machine fit, i've had head gasket changed to had it off and had to fit a gasket!

Seat main dealer told me there was not one and so did my local seat specialist. They both told me it was machine fit I would imagine there to be a gasket though

some aftermarket mountings dont run them (like my current turbo to mani) but thats not factory norm tho on a DP

mine def didn't have a gasket on it when i took it off, but had to wait 3 weeks for one from seat when put dp back on, they advised putting one on gasket as they are machine fitted at first and don't need the gasket, but once you take it off they say you need to put a gasket on.
