Clio 182 turbo gasket replacement?

[Clark87]

Hi just after any tips on replacing the gasket between exhaust manifold and the turbo looks to be a pig of a job 3 bolts look simple but one looks to be tricky because of the oil return on the turbo.

Check the manifold isnt warped

If the manifold and exhaust housing face are both flat, best off using no gasket at all.

I had this, I've gone for genuine Nissan 200sx gaskets as they are proven reliable and high quality.
