    got my turbo today missing parts

    The pedestal grommet is a replacement for the CDR grommet and a block off will not work as the pedestal returns the turbo oil to the valley pan. The pdf file I referred to above specifically states that the grommets are not the same and repeats a couple of times not to use the CDR grommet for...

    New (to me) turbo

    I won this turbo on Ebay. Can anyone point me at a downpipe that isn't flat. Does Banks still have one available? Also I'm assuming the IP included is a turbo IP, anyway to check?

If you would like to input on this just use your thread title (K&N air filter good or bad) and do a Google...
