The Dreaded Turbo Exhaust Manifold Leak

My convertible on the cheap, '90 900T came with an exhaust manifold leak that has gotten a bit worst. It still drives and boosts surprisingly well, but something should be done this season. Ideally I'll use PB Plaster, pull the manifold off and put on a new gasket, but I'm still really nervous about snapping the studs. I bought the car for $600.00 and have only put less than $100.00 into it overall. So cheap enjoyment is the name of the game. Cheap options of making "gaskets" out of aluminum or the like and slipping them in without removing the manifold, etc?
Any interesting ideas or words of confidence are appreciated.
