wasnt sure where abouts to post this but here goes,just installed a 16t with me7 manifold although its labour intensive it was a pretty straight forward job,however the little seal that goes into the block for the oil return pipe has perished!! i tried some "sealant gasket" but it never held,so where would i get one of these little devils??

thanks people :)

May well be worth replacing the copper washer's for the oil feed and water feed to turbo, as these can cause your symptoms your experiencing.

I had to do the o ring and the all the copper washer's last turbo change i did.
