N54 Boost Pressure sensor gasket

Dear folks, I remove the boost pressure sensor to clean it. Once removed I found the gasket is chipped off. Maybe I turn the sensor with too much force or the gasket has become brittle with time (almost 5 years old) and with a ECU tuning. It is the gasket in green color as shown in this link: http://www.ecstuning.com/Search/Site...493/ES1884768/

Is it possible to just buy the ring without buying the entire sensor? Thanks!

Not sure if you can buy just the ring, but mine too had a very minor "flat spot" almost like a portion was shaved off. That said, I put it back on the car and haven't had any issues so it must have sealed well enough.

I'd personally just reuse it first. If that doesn't work then try a similar o-ring that you can find at an auto store. Sure is a lot cheaper than buying a new sensor. Worst case, it's a new sensor, but I don't think it'll come to that.

Hope that helps.

I'm sure you could find something that works at a hardware store.
