I have problems with the gasket from the manifold to turbo blowing. only done 2 weeks ago and went today again. whats the best option. couple a boys told me to weld it up solid or milling the 2 surfaces perfectly flat and going with no gasket?

Weld it ??? It was not done right or something was overlooked, for a start don't get the same guy to do it again! There is special nuts you can get that wont work themselfs loose after a while, and get a proper gasket, DO NOT WELD IT !

i agree,

but if you dont want to weld it get a stock cast manifold a new gasket and a set of locking tabs should be grand then

I ended up milling the manifold and turbo faces at work and have no gasket just face to face. done 4 events and no probs at all.
