Lost a washer and a sensor...input please.

I lost the washer that goes between the coolant line and middle of the turbo and the sensor that screws into the TB, when I pulled them off awhile back.( to replace IM gaskets and remove my rats nest) I cant remember what kinda washer it was. Was it a crush washer? If so, are crush washers available at Autozone or Advance? And the sensor that screws into the TB was the thermo sensor, correct?
Thanks.
Jeremy

Intake air thermo sensor maybe? Ony my Na it's crewing into the dynamic chamber though, and not the throttle body. The only sensor on the throttle body is bolted on extreanally and it's the TPS.

I actually made a mistake when I said the sensor was on the TB. Its technically screwed into the the inlet for the TB...the part where the IC hose connects to it.
Any ideas on the washer?

copper washer.
If its the 2-prong sensor, that is the AIT (air intake temp) sensor

Yea, thats it. Thanks man. That effects the air fuel ratio right?
Where can I buy one of those washers and does it have to be copper? Autozone doesn't have em in the size I need. They only have the small brake line size ones. O, does anyone know the exact size of the washer?

Try advance auto parts, i use to work there years ago, i think they had some behind the counter. Also check the "help" isle there.

If not, mazdatrix or atkins.

I called them first,but they didnt have them in the size I needed. I got the AIT sensor from my parts car and got a pack of wav lock washers from Lowes...worked great.
