to date ive replaced both gaskets, did some minor resurfacing of the manifold and checked for cracks, and i can still hear a slight exhaust leak. sounds like rattling on decel. started hearing it ever since i first installed the bb chra. im thinking their is a leak at the top hat piece between the turbine housing and the center.

weird thing is im not sure why the stock center had problems when i swapped it on, i cant remember if i heard the rattle with it, maybe i didnt have the compressor and turbine wheels lined up right and were out of balance. would wheels out of balance cause such a difference?
