Default boost issue!

ran car WOT for fun the other night.... HKS SSQV popped off.... missing o-ring.... can i use some sort of generic o-ring or is there something specific to the material/size...

how would i know if i sucked in the o-ring?

If it popped off you shouldnt have sucked it in, it probably shot somewhere out into the engine bay, if you did suck it in, i imagine it would be caught somewhere near the intake valves. However a generic o-ring of equal matching size should work fine.

I believe ATP has the o-ring. The ring sits on a ledge of the flange, i doubt that you sucked that in. You would have definitely heard something.
