Anyone know where I can find replacements for these "plates"?

[AwdGSX13]

doubt thats the problem. Been like that since i bought the turbo. Check the shaft play..

Barely any shaft-play on the turbo. Doesn't smoke or anything either.

hmm... id check everything for boost leaks ect. since dudeman took the trans back out.

The plates to not seal anything. They hold the housings onto the center section. The housing has a flat spot machined into it and thats what seals the housing to the center section. Its not good they are missing so replace them for sure, but do a boost leak test, try a different boost controller, make sure there are no exhaust leaks before the turbo.

And people wonder why I hype stock/stock-frame turbos so much.

The T-2small has this type of connection on the exhaust housing....

Diesel Components Inc. have it, but I didn't make the drive to go grab it today. Me and AwdGSX13 were discussing the car today and figured we may have a boost leak around the intake mani since I have an abnormal idle. For now, I may just leave it as-is because apparently it doesn't seal up anything there like I thought and then track down where the leak is towards the intake mani.

how much did they want for the plates? i could probably spit on diesel components from my work. Maybe i can stop by and pick them up for ya

The guy didn't say a price, he just told me to bring in the turbo and he would find one that fit. He said he knew what I was talking about and that they had some.

oh ok, well i know the guy that owns diesel components so if you decide to go their for them let me know. maybe i can get you a better price.
