Well, I found a 4-bolt downpipe gasket so I'm good to go there. Making one would have been a good option if I hadn't, but they don't come in the rebuild kits since there are 5 bolt, 4 bolt or v-band type housings out there.

Everything but the direct T3 specific parts I've ordered as of late will make a good oiling system for either my "Drunken Will turbo" or a GT series. I'll see if I can't get my currant turbo working right, even if I have to rebuild it.... though I doubt I will have to do much more than a turbine shaft seal IF that much. I'm betting my new drain line will cure my car's issues.

Where's a really good source for GT series.... just so I can drool a bit, of course



Why don't you just take it to a local turbo builder? They have the right tools and the experience and probably won't charge you much. Worst case is you need a turbo and maybe you can get some trade in credit.
