Default Hmm what is this O rubber ring?



The bottom right.

When I took off the compressor housing, I didn't have that. ? Just metal to metal contact. Will I get boost leaks without that? And It's a brand new Garrett turbo too ...

I would put them back on just as precaution to prevent leaks or seepage of air from inside the compressor housing

it seals the compressor from any leaks....

what i did since my turbo is like 15 years old and no one sells the gasket and it was all dried up, i just used the RTV liquid gasket maker and it works fine... just put a bit on and it'll seal good. hell if it seals the oil pan gasket, why not this?

I just don't understand why my Brand new Garrett didn't come with one. I guess I'll just put some sealant on it
