Did you not have it milled the first time, like everyone told you too?

And make sure you use ALL the studs like other members told you. Otherwise, you'll just have another leak.

I dropped it off at the machine shop, it was really off they said, something like 60 thousandths or whatever measurement they use so its going to cost a lot but hopefully it'll be good after.

Would buying a taco taco have been cheaper?

It might have been better but i didnt want to wait for it in the mail and all. I did save a bit too.

It ended up costing 75 for the milling, i installed it and already noticed after bolting it down that there were no gaps or leaks. I was so happy to finally have it not leaking and was able to actually hear the turbo spool and bov.
