WTB O-ring for K26 compressor housing-

As the title states I'm looking for the big O-ring that seals the compressor housing on a water cooled K26 unit- I know there's a complete rebuild kit out there that has it, but figured I'd check here first to see if anyone had a spare one laying around before blowing $100 for the kit- Let me know what ya got, don't care if it's used as long as it works- TIA, cheers-

I MAY still have one, depends if the thieves who broke in to the shop took that stuff for scrap too or not (had a broken K26 in a box off my old MC1).
That would be awesome, lmk what you find-
Well, I thought I was going to have time tomorrow night to look, but my wife made dinner plans for us, so I doubt I'm going to get over there. Can this wait a week? I won't be around starting Saturday 'til Saturday.....
Yeah definitely, I'm working on a couple other things right now on the car so I probably won't start putting it back together till the end of next week anyways-
Bump, still looking for one......
:bump: Really need one of these, got my car running but it won't build decent boost withough an O-ring. Somebody has to have one laying around.
Did you try calling any turbo rebuild shops? Like http://gpopshop.com/ Hell a full rebuild kit less than $70 on ebay.
I'll head to the shop this week and look for the box of turbo parts...
can you not just get one from a local industrial supply company? I would guess under six bucks and there in a day or three. if you have good dimensions for the groove the rest is pretty easy....sometimes they measure for you if you bring the part in.
5326-158-0500 is the part number. Have some fun.
Thanks for the input/info guys. Sorry if my naivete comes off as laziness, I'm really not the best at tracking down small odds and ends a lot of the time for projects. I have not tried calling Gpopshop or any other rebuilders yet but will give them a try tomorrow. Maybe only $70 for a full rebuild kit but I'm kinda a cheap SOB when it comes to some things.

@cuatrokoop: No worries man, I don't want to cause you an inconvience if I can get the part easily enough. Thanks for offering to look though.
I have a few, used but sure one will work for you, shoot me a PM, I'll just toss one in an envelope and send it your way
