Who Manufactures our Turbo?

I have replaced the 5-bolt flange gasket and a few of the 4-bolt exhaust to turbo gaskets during regular maintenance. Sonex decided to grind the manufacturer's name off of the turbos so my problem is not that I mind buying those gaskets from Sonex, but that it takes them 10 days to 2 weeks to get the parts to me from Oshkosh.

I imagine that these are available on amazon for next-day delivery, but don't know exactly what part to order.
Does anyone know the "secret"?

Lou,

Assuming they are still using the same turbo as when I worked at Sonex, it is a Garrett. Not sure what model.

And Sonex does not grind the manufacturer name off the turbo. The vendor they get the turbo from does that. At least, that's the way it was when I was there.

Thanks, Joe. That's good to know. Now, I just need a quicker source for the flange and exhaust gaskets!

Did you find a source for the 5 bolt gasket? I have to replace mine and I'd prefer to source an aluminum gasket that is less fragile.

Thanks.
