02-05-2010, 09:07 PM #1i just installed my k26 turbo today to replace the older turbo. after 30 years of baked on bolts and other things i finally got it replaced and installed. i dont know what the peice is called but it the peice that right on top of the turbo with the 2 bolts and has a small gasket on it. the little gasket broke so i threw it away without a replacement and just tighted the bolts up and used the "gasket making silicone" from autozone. After i started the car it started to leak right away out the sides.

02-05-2010, 09:34 PM #2That is the oil feed for the turbo. You can just buy some gasket material and cut one out. I would stay away from silicone on anything that is involved with the oiling system. I once had a Datsun that had silicone block a passage and snapped the cam. You could even use a cereal box for the gasket material in a pinch.

They both should have a gasket, but the other side is not pressure fed, it is the drain line.

Those kits are more useful if you plan on putting a non stock turbo on there!
