-The valve seals were bought from an online MB dealer, I was assuming they were correct. They are smooth inside, no lips or ribs.
-The colors are dark red and bare metal color (not red & green).
-No tool is needed, they push on with a little pressure.
-No new springs, but were tested according to FMS and were ok.

Diesel911,
-The intake was dry, no oil residue. I'm taking the turbo to be checked out today.

t walgamuth,
Yes these are current pics after 2000 miles. A lot of oil.

I just got my new valve seals from the same company and they are the same as the ones I just took off.

Thanks! Have more pics if needed.
