View Full Version : is compressor housing seal reusable?
Like it says, can I reuse the compressor housing seal? Im looking to put a TII compressor housing on a TI turbo, and I have to disassemble both turbos to do so.
thanks,

Ive done that twice now, both times the gasket is broken in many spots. The first time I used some sort of sealant which actually worked, took it apart yesterday, and was still sealed tight after a couple years. This time I bought 2 gaskets off Ebay and did it right. You'll have to grind the turbo and manifold to clear the #3 cylinder runner also.
Cool. Good info. So is this ebay auction similar to what you purchased:

I think TU has the same gaskets for like $1. Of course, you'll pay an arm and a leg for shipping :(

Not unless Chris put it in a envelope. $3 shipping probably.

Correct. I've mentioned before that our automated shipping calculator caters to heavier packages. We've tried correcting it without much luck. When a customer alerts us to unreasonable shipping charges we refund or credit for those lighter orders.

Thanks! A couple times I was going to order something, but I was turned off by the shipping charges. I will try again, sorry about the bad press...:o
