Place that specializes in/ has turbo knowledge.

Im looking for a place to replace the gasket between my turbo and manifold, I am willing to do it myself but im looking for a place that would do it as I don't really want to keep driving with this leak much longer as the S13 is my only DD at the moment and the next chance I will have to fix it is this weekend. So let Me know if You know a place who would be willing to do it. Thanks

how'd u know there was a leak there? I'm starting to wonder if I'm not having some problem in that area of my exhaust as the car's not feeling right...just off. It's not as fast as it should be, and I just did all the major service needed for my KM's and even reflashed my ECU(MSP's have ecu problems, the protege ecu try's learns to work around the turbo and causes hesitation and UBER richness since it over-rides itself or some shit). Car is running fine at idle, and performance is almost back to normal but it still feels wrong. So needless to say I've been babying it.
