Has anyone here ever spent any time at a large CAT dealer or semi truck dealer that will let them do a little digging and see if they can find a suitable replacement for the ATS wastegated grommet ? I've always had amazing results finding oddball parts to press into service that way.. If someone is anywhere near a surplus aircraft parts house, I can guarantee that they will find some ( when we were building race cars in California in the 70s , first place we'd go when we got a wild hair for making something custom before fabricating, was the surplus aircraft parts store, if you can imagine it, chances are that at one time or another , an aircraft engineer has also come up with the same idea, and put it to use ;Sweet the only tricky part was finding it in amongst hundreds of 55 gal drums full of assorted loose parts :D
