mounting downpipe

I bought a downpipe and now have some difficulties with it leaking at the turbo. Anyone have any advice, the space between the turbo and the pipe needs to sealed should I use more that one of the metal gaskets?

A couple of questions for you. What downpipe is this, and did you buy it new of used?

Some guesses at a cause of this without looking at it. Potentially wrong donut gasket being used, potentially wrong bolts being used, potentially bolts need to be tightened, potentially forgot to use the springs with the bolts, and finally potentially wrong downpipe though if everything is lining up otherwise then you can eliminate that thought. I think that covers everything.
