TTI racing sells a copper manifold gasket. Dang it's only happened to me once because I didn't tighten it properly and it was an old 5 year krusty ass gasket.

I have a star stage II, mine use to leak too. I use my stock manifold gaskit. I figured it out why it leaks on me. I used to put everything together at the same time, like I put the manifold, the turbo and the downpipe and after that tighten the bolts. That's why it was leaking, the weight of the turbo and the downpipe is pulling the manifold down to leak. What I did is I tighten the manifold before everything! That stops the leak. I could boost up to 7 psi without leaking at all.
