Worst case scenario, I'll drive all the way down to summit, maybe they have them, but thats a good drive. Anyone know where I can get one, locally? Anyone happen to have one laying around i'll buy it off of ya.

THANKS ALOT

Worst case, if the flange is flat, you can use copper spray. You could also cut your own from a sheet of copper, which shouldn't be too hard to find. Good luck.

thanks drm but I got it taken care of

maybe on something else but you can't do that on a turbo, it gets too hot... You can use copper spray but you need something to spray it on, like a used gasket or the like, not straight metal to metal of course. I've used thin cereal box type cardboard shaped into a gasket sprayed with copper on my downpipe before and it didn't work too well haha.

What I did do is look up every stock car that used a garret t3 that I knew of, old school turbo diesel benzos, z31 turbo nissans, 280z turbos, older volvo 740's, older saab 900's ... And I found one dealership that Had it.... Jim Ellis saab off of peachtree industrial... They had like 4 in stock, it was 11 bux, and its NICE AND THICK too...

part number was 83 66 262 if anyone needs one in the future

Glad you found the part number.

I ran no gaskets and only coper spray on freshly fly-cut surfaces on my turbo car - never a leak.

when mine finally went bad a loooong time ago, i had called turbonetics to ask if they could ship one overnight, and they said just call any local auto parts store, ask for a 86-88 ford thunderbird SVO/2.3 turbo turbo gasket, it is the same one.

they were right.
