1jz turbo manifold shims

hey guys.

searched a bit but i cant find a clear enough photo to answer my question.

my 1jzgte is leaking exhaust between the rear of the turbos and the Y pipe that goes down to the exhaust (can take pic if unclear). Ive tried tightening the nuts up but to no avail. Im just wondering if anyone knows how many metal shims/gaskets they have on each side between the rear of the turbo and the Y pipe?

Its possible 18 months ago when i replaced the turbos i missed one but im not sure.

thanks for anyone who can shed some light for me.

cheers
nathan

hmmmmm

does anyone remember putting stock turbs back onto a 1jz?

just wondering if i should loosen the bolts holding the two monifolds->turbos and then tighten up the turbos to Y pipe. im assuming thats how your meant to do it?

cheers guys
