if its blowing you will loose performance??

what gaskets have you been using??

Metal toyoyta ones are more than enough and if it keeps blowing sonds like the face on the mani has warped and not flat anymore.

is it a stainless steel one you got??

yeah it is a metal one not sure of the make ? its definatley a stainless steel one though !!! i think i will have it checked somewhere tomoro im guessing its warped ! thanks everyone
