new turbo install quick question
 
So I got the k03 out seems to be a good turbo the only problem is the penny valve for the wastage isn't tight and isn't sealing all the way. It really wasn't hard to get out by the way everyone talked I thought it was gonna be a nightmare the only trouble o had was the oil return line on the bottom of the turbo there's no room to get one of the bolts out but I bought this car about a month ago and I'm pretty sure the previous owner knew about the problem I only found it because of boost gauge and thought:cool: there was a lack of power the guy I bought it from told me it was a heavy car and not meant to be fast at all and the rattling noise was a heat shield which was loose but my question is I'm pretty sure the turbo has been put recently and the gaskets all look great can I reuse them sorry how long this was just wanted to give some background

I would use new ones because they are crush style and its sucks to put it all back together to have an exhaust leak.. you could siwtch to a K04 while your in there... Would have to do injectors too of course...
