I just run the gasket only with no RTV and haven't had any leaks there.

Quoting yeti:
Really rtv is that strong??
I know it says you can on the package , but I still wondered.
It's not like the surfaces are warped (well a cheapy turbo outlet pipe maybe), I don't think it's super crucial - I just use a light layer. My 1g's seen 35+ psi there and it never leaks.

Flipped the gasket over and don't I feel retarded it fits PERFECT.
Fixed a coupler with hole in it and my j pipes bung is leaking........
Also sounds like maybe the throttle body or injector seal is leaking

There's a very good chance either of them are leaking. Spray some soapy water there while it's pressurized.

My soapy bubbles don't work /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rofl.gif
Only bubbles I see is from idle adjustment screw

Replace it also. There not that pricey from the stealership. Plus the looks you get when a dsm'er see's the rubber plugs still there in place is priceless.

Replace the jpipe?
Are you saying It has a threaded spot with a rubber plug in it?
Sorry I'm just a bit confused

He was saying to replace the BISS screw and the rubber plug that goes over it.
I hate to say it, but I fear for your car after all your recent threads and questions. Do you have somebody local that can help you out or show you some of this simple stuff so that you don't mess something up permanently?

Well, you do have to understand that not realizing the backwards gasket thing is a bit disconcerting... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Ya I can understand that,the only reason I thought that was because that's how the previous one was on there

The previous gasket was on backwards?

Yes the previous gasket was on their backwards.
Hint for the future: When installing gaskets (and this may apply to other things /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif), it's best to line up the holes. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
