Hi All
I had been thinking about find this exhast leak for some time and final took the time to look. Every time I use the exhaust brake to help warm the truck up I was getting exhaust fumes in the cab all must insantly. During the summer I din't warm it up with the exhaust brake so not a big deal. Now that it is full, and in the low 30s at night I was going to start using the brake agian but the fumes are bad. So what I found is the torbo housing split line leaking. Is there a gasket to replace or replacing the turbo ? Here is a picture

The big questions are?
1. Can I fix this with a gasket and time?
2. Do I have to use a hx-35 do to the exhaust brake being mounted to the turbo flange?
3. Can I upgrade to a hx-40 and use the same flange on back of the bigger turbo so I can still use my exhaust brake, am I going to restrick the flow to much and get higher egts?
Thanks
Glen
