Is there an actual question in there somewhere?

From your nickname I'm guessing you're talking about the MR2 turbo?

Have a look at this thread: http://www.imoc.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=122917

I have an n/a but the first reply was from a tubby owner. The link he provided suggests the o-ring (if that's what you're actually asking about) is part number 96741-19010

Having said that, if it was me I'd nip down to B&Q and buy a packet of suitable o-rings from their plumbing department for about 50p.
