i found on mine that i had to retension the studs every couple of months i did that for 3 or 4 times then it stayed good and didnt leak. i allso use the factory commetic gasket with ultra copper silicon . if it still leeks then the problem could be that it needs a bracket to support the manifold from the block to the manifold as there is a far bit of weight hanging on it and when it gets hot it destorts and then leeks.

manifold
i have removed the maniflod now
i have just got new factory gaskets steel press type
fitting up will be to factory specs and copper silicon
if there is a next time it will be copper
it has 2 brackets that hold turbo assembly so stress should not be a problem

You mention the manifold has been milled 3 times and still not great. Have you actually looked at the other side of the equation (didn't say head or turbo side) to ensure that both mating surfaces are dead flat. Have you also radiused the bolt holes to ensure any studs if you have any aren't pulling the hole edge up and causing a leak to start there.
