A center section doesn't necessarily come with the o-ring to join the compressor housing to the center section however whoever you get the center section from should be able to supply the o-ring as well as the oil return gasket. Mitsubishi turbos are much easier to dismantle and assemble than Garrett turbos are so you probably won't have any problems. When removing either housing I use a wooden hammer tapping side to side so a blade doesn't contact a housing. It's best in between each tap to make sure the rotating assembly still turns freely so you don't damage anything. The compressor side will come right off but the turbine housing is more difficult but using my side to side method while making sure noting is binding will prevent any turbine wheel damage so you will still have a rebuild-able TD04-15T CHRA. When you couple the compressor housing back to the center section lube the o-ring and install it on the center section which keeps it centered rather than the compressor housing. Be sure to have the internal snap ring in place first and then apply pressure until the tapered snap ring expands into place. You may not be dismantling your center section but if you do be careful of DIY info like where the Volvo one shows removing the compressor wheel nut with an end wrench which will bend the turbine wheel shaft's quill! A t-handle with a socket has to be used for this operation so equal pressure is applied! Also real early TD04-15T's have right hand threads however the later ones do use left hand threads like the Volvo TD04 uses. Dave at SPG9
