blown turbo gasket?

i can hear a serious exhaust leak comming from my turbo area, and i checked and there is air pouring out from the manifold connection to the turbo. I already got a new gasket from heavy throttle, has anyone had to do this to their SR? any suggestion on the easiest way to drop the turbo?, i also noticed that the side the air is leaking out, there is no nut there.... do u think thr gasket is fine and it just needs a nut? Thanks for any help.

To get a good seal you gotta have all the hardware!!! When the turbo heats up and cools down the nut may have backed off, replace it and keep an eye on it.

pull the entire manifold, turbo, and outlet pipe(J-pipe), i think it is impossible to get only the turbo out of the car with the rest of the stuff connected.
