I broke both ceramic seals trying to press them into the turbo...The damn seals look like a $.15 part but the actual cost is $30...I decided to buy a third one and just let the turbo shop near me install it for me...So after wasting $60 I got the seal put in...If I had a press, it would have when in just fine....The seals a so damn delicate...I included a pic of the bad seals so ya'll can see the part...

 

here's what it goes into.

 

and another...oh and by the way this is for the stock turbo!!!

 

Bummer,

Thanks for sharing your experience, at least your good to go now!

 

what were you usign to press them in with...

i will be getting mine for my to4 hybrid soon and the guy told me to use a socket the size of the metal ring and press it in that way

 

Ya shoulda brought it to Gerhards in the first place :-)
