spider removed now I need help

Hey guys Im in the process of changing out the ic boots and installing the plenum inserts and didnt realize there was an oring on the spider to the turbo. the oring isnt swollen or broken or anything. is it alright to reuse the oring? and the clamp that holds it all together im guessing when i put it all back together just make sure its nice and tight? theres no torque or anything right?

Thank you,
-AJ

not sure about "torq" specs, but i'd just tighten the heck outta it, but careful though, can strip it. As for the o-ring, i re-used mine.

As long as the oring isn't pinched or anything, its good to reuse. Make sure the turbo outlet is square to the spider and you are all set.

well instead of having to post a new thread I just recently did the foil delete and noticed there was a small pad like of woven material. I noticed that the dent in the pipe is for a bolt if im not mistaken for the PS pump. Do you ahve to put anything in that area like the woven material?
