Leaving well enough alone?

Pulled the turbo today in preperation for bellowed up-pipes coming this week including the o-ring kit from Clay. My question is....there is no sign of any leaks other than the passenger side up-pipe.....should I pull the pedestal and install the new o-rings, as well as, the other o-rings in the kit or just leave well enough alone?

Thanks for any/all advice!

You are already that far. It's only 4 more bolts. I would definitely go ahead and change 2 more O-rings to be on the safe side.

I would if I was you, as said its just for more bolts. Also I would use the blue locktight on the bolts when you torque them back down. If its still your stock o-rings I bet they are yellow looking and starting to get hard.
