I boosted my car blew my turbo and was going to replace the snail today hopefully, Now I lost some stock nuts on the manifold to the head and got a few leaks, Then I put new ones new gasket lost some more another exhaust leak. I went to Hi-strenght bolt got stainless nuts and locking washers no more lost nuts but still exhaust leak. What can I do to fix this leak? I tightened it down in order like the good book says, I tightened them like Servion said, Is there either a better gasket or should I put more than one gasket? Could either my head or the Pang manifold not be flat?

Your manifold could be slightly warped. Are you sure the leak is coming from the manifold?

I would just use some copper gasket maker to help seal it up.
I'd pull the manifold and have it checked to see that it's square. If you had varying torque across the nuts/bolts which hold it to the head it may have warped.
If you need your snail rebuilt, PM me.

Yes I am sure I wipe the head and after driving it for a day it has black carbon build up that you can tell has been blown out, as well the gaskets are very dark in the same areas.

That will not blow out? Where can I get some?

That maybe I need a tourque wrench but how in the world do you get a tourque wrench on b-series exhaust bolts there is barely room to fit a combination wrench.

We will see Right now no I got another one for a decent price, and I really don't want to put that much into the other one.
