During a boost pressure/vacuum leak test I noticed a leak where the compressor side of the turbo mates up against the exhaust portion (I thinks that what its called) There arent any leaks from the banjo bolts, just the seal between the two portions of the turbo.

Is there a way to fix this or is replacement the only option? Thanks in advance for any help.

The large rubber O-ring has dried and and gone bad. Im not sure of the exact part number but its shown in the pic below. Call or Email bullseyepower.com and they will give you the exact part number you need. The compressor housing comes off easily with a good pair of circlip pliers. Until then do not go full throttle or you chance blowing yoru turbo.
