Hi everyone,

I'm rebuilding my turbocharger in prep for installing the engine early next year but I can't seem to find any gaskets to do the job.

I've tried all the local parts factors and i'm having no luck. Can anyone recommend anywhere ?

It's a standard turbocharger from a 1989 Metro Turbo. (Is this a T2 or a T3 ?)

Thanks in advance. *happy*

Thanks guys - managed to get a set from Turbotechnics for free !

They said they don't release them to the public as many people have rebuilt their own turbochargers and blown them up after a week as they weren't balanced properly.

Managed to convince them it was being built right as I told them where I work and said it's been done there.

I rang TurboTechnics and several other companies to get the gaskets for my T2, no joy anywhere!

Had to use exhaust assembly paste in the end appears to have worked so far!

Whats going to break next!?
