I have an exhaust leak at my turbo housing, anyone run into this? Is this something they have had issues with? I do have an aftermarket downpipe and I'm going back to stock so I can take it to ford. Any suggestions?

Where on the housing?

What type of down pipe? Does it use a fire ring or the old doughnut gasket?

Seems like you a) for got the fire ring, or B) didn't tighten the bolts enough to seal, or C) all of the above.

It uses the donut ring, I have it at the shop and it's as tight as it can go, they are ordering a new ring but that's not the big issue, it's leaking from the front side, so opposite from where he downpipe is connected. Soot is everywhere and he tightened the coupling as much as he could. Did a smoke test and still leaking a tiny bit
