ANy suggestions on how to fix this, i didn't even think this was possible.
I put RTV on the back for now, because i am lazy and i just put the turbo on.
Plus i wanted a for sure fix the first time when i pull it off, so i figured that i would ask.

You need one of the big rings in this pic:

Call FP, they got'em.

The o-ring is in there, i don't need the whole kit, but do u think that i can get the o-ring from a HW store?

Yeah i dont know what is with me and leaky covers, or just boost leaks in general, '08 is my year of destroying those bitches though. fixed 1 on my J-pipe, got seals coming for the new TB, so that should solve that, next one is this one.

Does any Perf. place sell just the o-ring without paying baller FP/scheides prices for an o-ring?

Biesswingers Hardware Store in Mounds View has a decent selection of O rings, but I'm not sure if they would have anything that big.

I meant call fp and ask for just the o-ring! I'm sure it's cheap.

ok, sounds more reasonable.
