help please :(
Finally come to finish my wagon turbo, just fitted new exhaust gaskets, took for a spin and didnt thrash it, pulled back on my drive after 10mins driving and seems to be alot of steam coming from downpipe/bottom part of turbo flange like gasket area, have tryed to tighten and quite tight.
also ive got forged recirv valve fitted, start of drive seems boost really well, then you hear big dumping sound as i changed gear, and power gone
any ideas?? Gutted

Re-circ valves are cheap enough second hand - you didn't state what your car is.
I usually use a bit of exhaust paste with gaskets and any smoke etc. is just excess burning off. Steam was maybe condensation from the car being in the cold perhaps?

Take the recirc valve off and have a play with it, see how smoothly the piston bit moves, maybe lube it up a bit. also check around for pipes which might have come off when building boost. The smoke/steam is more than likely condensation or oily hand prints from when you put it back together. should clear after a little while but keep an eye on it. make sure rocker gaskets aint leaking onto the manifold on the turbo side.
