Shiny. I like!

Now that I think about it though... I should've had that done too while I had the car on jackstands waiting for the new turbo. Doh!

I replaced the shaft seals myself and cleaned off what I thought was carbon build up but was actually a factory applied sealer. Now there is a gap around the plate and it is throwing a code. Your pictures intrigue me because it looks like the company you used cleaned it off as well but then put something around just the edges of the plate. Do you happen to know what they used there?
