I am going to remove my turbo on my TII to port the wastegate. When I remove the turbo and other components to get to the turbo is there any o-rings or gaskets I should buy from Mazda ahead of time to replace during the modification?

 

yes.

 

yes there is you might want to replace them but if they still look good you can reuse them

 

gaskets and O rings.

 

I want to replace all the gaskets/o-rings I come across, because I know they are common parts that wear out, but I would like someone to tell which ones I need to buy before I tear things apart, and find them myself, because everything I get from mazda these days is special order and it takes a few days before I get the parts

 

2 O rings and gaskets to the parts you remove do you have the haynes? i don't know htem all off the top of my head not too many at all though.

Actually I removed my turbo recently to clean it up. I bought a j-spec engine and the turbo was covered in gunk and I need to replace the studs on it. Can I get the gaskets and hoses at any auto part store or do I need to go to my crappy local Mazda dealership? Thanks!
