LeeT Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Turbos don't have an 'o' ring seal where you are suggesting. Looks normal to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terribleturner Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 My T66 didn't have an O-Ring there Surely the heat would be too much for a rubber O-Ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 I used to build turbos for a living and they definately dont have a rubber o-ring in there. What type of turbo is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranz Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 The J spec std turbo has an O ring because it doesn't have a mating flange like all the others and this one. Your turbo looks fine mate! If you don't like it I'll have it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

absz Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 the pic in your first post does not require a seal as its a flat machined surface were the housings come together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
