Well looks like a new problem has surfaced! Yay

anyway it looks as if I am spraying oil under the turbo. I would imagine its the gasket sure hope its the gasket! Anyway I was wanting to know if anyone knew of a place that sells the stock gasket or if I could use a different type

I've seen RTV used there. I've also cut the sides of cereal boxes in the shape of gaskets and used those. Not optimal but seems to work fine.

haha time to go buy a box of cereal! Actually one of the bolts was missing so yeah good times! Put a new one on there and well it hasnt lost any more oil so I would imagine its ok. But in the break down I noticed the turbo has hardly any resistance and was wondering if that was correct or if my old engines one was better, considering it had a lot more resistance. My gauge only regesters 4lb and I was reading that everyone says the stock gauge isnt all to good.

That's typical. The stock boost at sea level is 6.8psi, but the stock intercooler has a ~3psi pressure drop across the core.

I am not worried about it all to much as long as it works I am happy for now! I plan on someday getting a two or three gauge cluster that goes where the O shit handle goes considering the driver never has a need to use that and will but a after market boost gauge there! Hey Jeeves keep an eye open I should be running past you in a day or two on my way to Cali! So if you see a sputtering supra make sure to wave haha
