Help finding a part on the stock twins

Can someone help me find this block off plate that's missing (also any gasket that might go with it)? I think it's just a cover for the pre control actuator door.
Also, does anyone know where I can find the actual actuator for cheap... the dealers want like 600 bucks for them, so it's making me want to go non-sequential, but I also need my emissions equipment, which I'm not sure I can keep with non-sequentials.
Thanks in advance!

If you were close could give you the bits. Only chance, secondhand.....you might need to buy complete turbos though! There's the usual embossed copper gasket underneath

you can keep the emissions items with a non-sequential set up. they don't rely on each other.

Thank you for that, if only. Unfortunately I just bought these turbos, but wasn't paying close enough attention to the pics... guess that's why they were such a good deal. I might just have a friend make a plate for it.

Good to know, I was worried with how many things got removed that I wouldn't be able to... this setup is literally just for emissions.

the plate that goes there is ~1/4in thick. there's A LOT of pressure behind it along with tremendous heat. so it would need to be steel and very thick. making one is an option but be mindful of its operating conditions.

Just buy a cheap junk set of turbos of eBay and use the parts. This will also give you the gasket. Which I don't think is cheap but is reusable usually
