Upper Manifold to Plenum + extra ?'s

This weekend I am hoping to be replacing the FPS / Seal @ Damper and Seal @ Fuel Rail, shifter bushings, vacuum lines... but theres a couple things im worrying about...

I have a 1988 Turbo II

I can't find a place to buy the Upper Intake Manafold's to Plenum (sorry for spelling if its wrong) gasket.

On www.mazdatrix.com I found the gaskets for every year and model execpt mine. (http://www.mazdatrix.com/c-2.htm)
They had the 88 non turbo one.... Maybe im missing something and my year has something different?

I checked a couple different rx7 parts websites to try and find them but with no luck....

That is my main concern, is there anything else I should be doing while ive got the Upper Intake manafold off? (Replace the fuel lines??) (Send out the Fuel Injectors to be cleaned?)

Then im also looking for some websites to buy the probes needed for apexi/defi gauges, I can find the gauges, but the probes that go with the EGT or the senders for oil pressure/water temperature I can't seem to find...

Im sorry for all the questions, I just want to get this job done right. Thanks.

The Turbo UIM and plenum is one casting, not separate like the NA's. You only need a gasket between the LIM and UIM (Gasket M on that page).

Yes and yes.

Then I guess if it is one casting theres no need for me to order the gasket M on the page because I won't be tearing the engine down that far? Or is this the gasket I will need instead of the one I was describing?

Sorry for the lack of knowledge this is my first time doing this.

You'll be removing the UIM so you should replace that gasket.

Thank you very much for the info, just ordered the gasket I should be able to get fuel line replacements from any local autostore i would think as long as I specifically ask for "Fuel line hose"...

Thanks again!

Ask for fuel injection hose. It very important that you do not use normal fuel line.
