Hi there,

My turbo burnt out the exhaust manifold gasket, and after repair with
polishing the exhaust pipe mask it hold just 10 miles, and it blew up
again!

Is there anything they forgot here on this remote island? Maybe a
sealing additive to the gasket or else?

thanks in advance

huh? what kind of car, yr etc...

and what does this mean? "

blew up again!"

the proper steps to follow would be to remove the old gasket, scrap the
surface smooth, and replace with a new gasket, tighten all bolts to the
proper torque, in the proper sequence, and your good to go.
