Turbo o-ring needed 700 1988

I need the o-ring that goes between the bypass valve and the turbo housing on a Mitsubishi turbo. Any ideas on where I can get one or where I should look? Anyone have a substitute o-ring to use? The part was not listed as available separately when I went to the Volvo dealer and I am located in Canada.

Thanks in advance
Stephen

O ya - the old one is as hard as a rock and cracked. I know it is leaking a bit. Would that contribute very significantly to my low boost (5.5 psi)?

    check the web site, WWW.Turbocity.com. I know thats where i got m replacement parts, though they are located in Southern California they have good stuff and decent instruction if you end up getting a rebuild kit, pretty decent prices too.

      Thanks - I have actually emailed them already. I don't want to get a rebuild kit - I just want 1 o-ring so I hope they might be able to do that. If not, I was hoping someone could suggest what kind of o-ring I could substitute. Do local parts shops carry an assortment of o-rings? Do I need a high temp one?

      I guess I will wait to see what Turbo City says.

        heck, relly you might just be able to find it at your local Home Depot or Lowes ( If in the United States ) and maybe canada, these are the local huge home improvement stores.
