What size is the o ring for the intake hate on the wastegated banks?

I want to fix this boost leak much quicker than banks could send me an o ring..

I think it 5 1/4 inch. I use a gasket that fits a quadrajet carb. The filter to carb gasket availavle in any parts store anywhere. Try that and see if it works. My wastegate hat fits this gasket fine. I also RTV both sides of it too. Just in case...

i used the gasket on the ats hat,but not sure id try it on the banks.the banks pressure chamber has a rounded indent cleanly made to fit a round o-ring.
doesn't surprise me that one with lots of black atv sealed good too though.she'd simply fill the whole groove in.but really there isn't any reason to do it like that with the banks chamber.
id just take your pressure chamber off and take it with you.set the o-rings in the slot.you'll know when it's the right size.pretty simple.carry it around wrapped up good in a box though.would suck to drop it.
