SR20DET has bad idle and dies. (exhaust leak from 5 bolt turbo elbow)

[kevmeistah21]

This just started to happen, i believe it may be my leak from my 5 bolt turbo elbow right before the o2 sensor. Could this possibly make my car idle and die when i first start my car? I figured it's this reason cause it's leaking right before that o2 sensor in the turbo elbow.. Can anyone confirm or give me some insight?

I'm slammed and my downpipe scratches most of the time causing that leak from the turbo/turbo elbow.

i have no boost or vacuum leaks, just that big ass exhaust leak.

Thanks,
Kevin

Let's see. You've got a known exhaust leak before o2 sensor, and you're car isn't running right... It appears you've solved your own problem on what you need to do next...

FIX IT
