Really? There's o-rings for the LIM to block? I had a metal gasket and that's all I used. Coolant orings? You mean inside the keg, the combustion orings? How big were the orings you received?

Only TIIs have said o-rings. They seal the passage that feeds coolant to the turbo. N/As have no such o-rings.

they are a tad larger than the hole on the housing but shouldn't be too much larger.
