[GORBS88]

Just wonderin if anyone has had the same problem as me, i am runnin the stock 14b at 17psi. The O ring that seals the center section to the intake side leaks boost....Has anyone ever had this problem???? this has happend to 2 of my 14b turbo's....i do a boost leak test and find it leakin bad around the o-ring, anyone know why this keeps happening??? thanx

Yup, I had the same problem... A lil' bit of high temp RTV around the perimeter of the o-ring and the leaks were sealed.

Click here and read the posts I made. I had the same problem and this fixed it for me. More work, but at least the o-ring will be new.

It appears that the outer o-ring can easily dry out. Is there anyplace that sells just the outer o-ring instead of the entire rebild kit?? Also, where is the cheapest place to get a rebuilt turbo balanced??

There is a exact part number for the o-ring alone. I ordered one from a dealership awhile back. Any mitsu dealer should gladly get you a part number and order it for you. Mine dried out and I replaced mine with a new OEM ring. Takes awhile but it was worth not having any more boost leaks

Do you know the part number for it? I went to Mitsubishi when I had to replace mine and they tried telling me that you can only buy a new turbo and I couldn't find a part number anywhere else for it.

I bought that oring last year when my 14B was leaking. it was less than 2.00.
If you coat it with Hylomar HPF it wont leak again.
