I'm trying to find the part number for the blockoff plate which mounts on the outside, 10 o'clock position on the turbocharger (looking from the front of the car) and which the dipstick tube mounts to. It's a smallish plate with an extension on the lower end of it for the dipstick clamp to screw to. I've checked the Cygnus EPC as well as my '88 TSRM and while the TSRM shows the plate it doesn't identify it in any way.

Any help will be appreciated, as mine disappeared while the turbo was off being rebuilt and I have to replace that plate. :1zhelp:

Yeah, saw that one and last week I went ahead and ordered the 11494 plate just in case it was the one I needed. Turns out that's the one which mounts down along the engine block and not the one I need, so I have one if anyone needs it. Talked to my local Toyota dealership (they treat me pretty well) and they couldn't find any reference to the one I need in their database either, so it looks like I'll be trying to beg one off of somebody in the WTB section.

Thanks for the assist though.

Good idea, or even better go to the parts for sale section before you post a WTB thread and there are always a couple of partouts going on. Stay focused though! Lots of parts in there to entice you...lol.

Tell me about it! I've been pretty good about focusing ONLY on functional rather than cosmetic stuff (only gave in on a few things :biglaugh:), but beyond that I've got to try to confine my buying to stuff I have to have rather than stuff I'd like to have but don't really need right this moment.

More on subject, are there many other parts which might be needed at some point in time which Toyota no longer carries in stock somewhere? I know stuff like the lips and such aren't available there anymore.
