gasket question
Ive got a leak on the wategate to the wastegate dump tube.
Does this have a major effect on anything with how the car runs? Or any effect on the car at all?
Also, can i use high temp silicon gasket stuff ( i think its RTV ?) instead of a gasket?

I don't think so. The dump tube just vents the exhaust to the atmosphere. You should be fine but someone correct me if I am wrong. And, ya a little sealant stuff should do the trick.

Sorry, let me clearify. It't the gasket from the manifold to the wastegate. Not the wastegate to the dump tube.
I don't know if that will change anything though. Ill grab some of that silicone stuff. Hopefully it doesn't surpass 600*C.

Yes! that will cause issues! Don't use RTV, I'm pretty sure the manifold temp will exceed that of that the threshold of the RTV. Make sure both surfaces are flat/flush, then add a new gasket. There are copper gaskets as well that might help you out in this situation...

These are somewhat new, but knowing the sealing properties of copper...definitely something to look at.

BTW, does your WG have a "fire ring"? It'll need this gasket...
