HELP! Factory turbo VP grommet TORN

[6 Nebraska IDIs]

Do you guys know of anywhere I can get a new valley pan grommet for the factory style ATS turbo system? Or are they non-existent?
If they are, and someone here has an extra new one, I'll buy it from you and Im going to have them produced somewhere else, screw ATS. Or I may even be able to make them myself. But I need a perfect condition one to do it with.

Otherwise, whats a good fix for a torn one? Can it be glued back together with trim adhesive or something?

None found, I got the last 3 out of texas last year. Glue wont hold up, I may have a new one left so you can produce them but they must use the correct rubber mix or it will swell up like a honeymoon har----, well you know.

Swell up to what??? Oh do tell Russ....

 

[typ4]

hardon, I remember one time. oh never mind.

Well I may need to use that one, but hold onto it for a few days until I see what I can dig up here.
I am going to call a couple ATS dealers and see if they have any in stock. If I can do it on my own I would rather do that.

Hell I gotta find it first. If ats has them you should get several, i know you can supply them to others, if you make them I will take 3 or 4. Valve cover to cdr is another needed item.
you must have got the box cause I have seals!!!

The valve cover seals are supposedly no longer made as well? I just bought two of those not that long ago.

What do you mean I have got the box?

 

[6 Nebraska IDIs]

OH! I know what you're talking about! The intake seals. lol. Yep I sure did. I would have told ya but you are on at such weird times anymore I didnt.

What did ya think about the intake seals?

Is the ATS drain the same or close to the Banks drain? Banks still has them. I have some spares that I can measure if you'd like.

 

[6 Nebraska IDIs]

Doug, why dont ya post a measurement for those, inner diameter obviously, lol. The outer should be the same. That way I can check with the one I have. because if people can get them from say Banks, they sure as heck arent going to get them from me.

 

[GenLightening]

I'll measure it tommorow when I'm at the shop. And before I forget: Banks Turbo drain grommet #93043-$2.64

I have a couple of brand new ATS grommets in the garage. I cleaned out the local place when I realized they had 'em in stock a year or so ago. Let me know if I can help.

The Banks grommet ID is .75" , hopefully it's close to the ATS drain size.

Hey guys, thanks to all who offered help. I made about a dozen calls and tracked down the company that bought all the production rights to the ATS turbo kits for our trucks. Guess what, they either HAVE, or CAN GET everything for the kits aside from the turbo itself and the intake seal (which I already have made, and they may be purchasing from me). They said some of the stuff is really hard to get but they can get pretty much everything.
I still dont know what the name is entirely, something- Performance. Their number is 866-408-6812 or 360-604-8555.
I asked specifically if they are having the grommets and stuff produced still today and they said yes.
I bought three of them and had them over nighted to my moms work place.
I know this is great news for some of you guys! Hint hint, intercooler kits and down pipes!

ok, I'm confused. ATS no longer sells/makes turbo kits for our trucks?
