I got a turbo outlet gasket from
http://www.Himni-Racing.com while not local it arrived in about a week.
(x1) T3 GT 4 Bolt Exhaust Downpipe Discharge Gasket - 2.50": $9.25
(Model: HRGA012)
They will sent usps for cheap if you ask, shipping on the website is expensive.
That play looks much more than just seals to me... I had my turbo rebuilt by
http://www.turbodynamics.co.uk they did a good job an turned it around quickly. Cant comment on durability as havent run the car yet but it looks good and they have good reviews!

thanks Tim,
yes, you're right, I reckon the bearings have gone which have also caused the seal problems so a rebuild is on the cards..... I was thinking of sending it to these guys for a quote...
http://www.turborebuild.co.uk/reconditioned-turbo.html
then I'll decide what to do............ I'm not going to throw too much money at it though
thanks Pete and Dibs.... I'm happy with this tonight because the car wasn't going to the RRG until Keith offered to lend me his turbo so it's a relief to get it back on the road.
Thanks for the offer Dibs, I might take you up on that if I get stuck, I'll let you know.
cheers,
Ian

That was just a blatant excuse to show off your fancy lift.
Well you achieved a little jealousy here
