ATR downpipe?

[Injected1]

How many people have had problems blowing wastegate gaskets on the ATR downpipe? And how did you remedy this? I have tried different gaskets, rtv, and a few other things and the lower gasket just keeps blowing out. I have brand new flanges that I am thinking about welding on but wondering if there is another remedy that maybe I am not thinking of.

Thanks, nick

Yes, as well as MLS SS, and a combination of both with RTV and it blows out the center of the bottom flange immediately. I will try to get a pic of it.

you probably need to resurface the flange(s).. it is likely warped.
