in the seal between the turbo, and the Y, do the Y's have a o-ring?
seem to remember an o-ring being on one I worked on in the past.

Typically most places sell a round oring.
Best to find the stock like square cut.

Post back if you find a source for one. Both ours are a little tired and our boost hasn't been great lately, come to think of it.

No need to use a square one I have been using a brown viton round one for years. I don't have the number for you at the moment, but it is the same o ring as the rear cover on the HPOP.

I just prefer the square one because it'll stay in the recess better. Lol
And the last one I bought was too small. It didn't even have enough to compress. Bought it from riffraff or diesel orings.

By golly, mine appear to be about the right size. Gotta keep that in mind; we usu. keep a couple on the shifters in case we lose one on the road. Little dreads of hair on a used one would cause a leak, however.....
