Thanks for all the advice guys. I decided to go ahead and take it all apart tonight, intake mani, exhaust mani and turbo, I was successful in using the helicoil. Expencive little bugger but seemed to work great!! I cut all the heat wrap off for now.. Not sure if I am going to re wrap it or not. My exhaust manifold was jet hot coated and heh.. after it being heat wrapped.. a bunch of it flaked off.. Kinda tells me that the manifold was getting alittle warm eh? I do know this though.. with the heat wrap on there I could touch my intake manifold even after sitting in traffic, which is something I never really could do before.. So I am debating on heat wrapping it again or not.. Some have had great success and others have not.. Oh and Jeff, yeah my gasket was toast.. so a new one is in order.. no biggie though.. Thanks again guys!!
