Thumbs up Help... Murphy's Law just won't leave me alone!!!

Ok, so I went up to Bel-Kirk on Monday to pick up my car and before getting out of the parking lot I hear my turbo spooling very loudly within the cabin; just thinkin positive/hopeful I start to merge on 405 and get on it a bit, hitting boost around 10 psi and I can't even hear my stereo it's so loud. I quickly take it back to Bel-Kirk, order a BBK Full from CBRD with next day air, take it up to Bel-Kirk on Wednesday and now they're saying I need some gaskets and O rings for the turbo install. Unfortunitely, the only thing which came with the turbo was the turbo its self. The shop ordered the gaskets and O rings from the dealer with overnight delivery, but not sure when they'll actually arrive tomorrow and the shop can't guarantee it'll be done tomorrow, so my pleade to anyone/everyone is if you have some gaskets and/or O rings which can be used (meaning good shape) for a stock 9 turbo install which I could get my hands on today then when I get the stuff from the dealer I'll give those to you in place. The reason I need the car so soon is because with a bigger turbo I'll need bigger injectors and with those I'll also need a tune and I was able to secure some dyno time this weekend, so I really need this to happen.

Please hit me up at 541-914-1621 if you can help or send me a PM; I'd much appreciate it!!!

All those gaskets can be reinstalled. You don't need new gaskets!!!!

That's exactly what I told the shop, but they're insisting I do need new ones.

Thanks man, but after speaking with the shop I got them to reuse the metal gaskets since there was nothing wrong with'em, but I did buy a few of the fiber ones from Auburn Mitsu and drove them up. Thanks for the offer though, appreciate it!!!
