Help Needed 6.0 turbo housing O-ring needed

[BamaSixGun]

I need the O-ring that goes on the air intake side of the turbo, that fits between 2 aluminum bodies. Sorry, I am not very good with the correct terminology.

It is a bout 2cm think. My old one is pinched up pretty good and they cannot find a part number for a new one. Probably because it is included in kit form only. This is the only thing I need and I do not want to spend a whole bunch of money on a kit to get one part.

If anyone has one or even has a part number (if that exist), please let me know.

Hey Phil, I remember you well. My dad is doing OK.

This is a pretty big O-ring/gasket if you will.

The diameter is about 7.5 to 8 inches.

I will check out the link you gave, maybe it will work out.

No luck with Bob. Keep on trying.

Stephen, did you try all the site sponsors? Maybe Innovative or Elite Diesel?

Any O-ring you should ever need if you know the dimensions.

That's the hard part, measuring the thing.

I just think this has got to be a specific item, not something that you can walk into your local NAPA store and buy.

Anyone know a dealership mechanic that'll measure it for Mr Bama?
Damm sure wish I knew one.

I have never taken off a turbo ( yet, and pray I don't have to) so I'm assuming no way to measure the part itself?

I put a call in to Elite. They do a lot of upgrading on the VGT's, so I hope they have one lying around.
