hey guys , was at turbotrana's earlier today trying to sus out a few things , I came to realise that the noise ive been assuming was an exhaust leak but could never find is definitely the dump pipe gasket. Ive been looking everywhere to find a thread of "how to" replace the gasket the easiest way possible. All I have been able to find that's remotely close is threads on "how to remove turbo for flapper upgrade."

If I can avoid pulling off the whole turbo and all the oil return lines and coolant lines I would much prefer that , I dont have a hoist but I do have a quality jack. If anyone can put me in the right directions it would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

And since its a $ inch dump rather than factory can/ should I still buy the ford genuine factory fit gasket ? will that work

something like this http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/GENUINE-FORD-BA-BF-FG-MK2-FALCON-SX-SY-TERRITORY-TURBO-DUMP-GASKET-F6-F6X-XR-/121120919765

Those heat shield bolts are tight as anything, should I just WD40 ?

It seems there was a leak there somewhere. You need to take the cover off to establish where. Dont take the dump off till you establish its there. You can drive around without the cover so take your time. Sometimes you get a hose and put it to your ear to pinpoint the location. Sometimes expecially when cold you can put your hand around there and feel it.

You sometimes need a bit of force on those bolts but Reducteur which you can buy at bunnings $20 is the best stuff for rusty bolts but I dont think you need it for this.

Use genuine gasket

You will find one of the bolts a PIA on the flange dump. The bottom one you may need to modify a closed end spanna by grinding it down to fit.

You will need to take the dump off to weld in another bung and also if you want to check if the flange face is true.
