Well i finally got everything back together. I didnt feel like ordering and waiting on a new C pipe to come in the mail.

I eventually got this sucker sealed GOOD. How i did it was cut the little "Lip" off of each end of the C pipe so that i could put the gaskets on the turbo and the air breather housing, then slide the C pipe onto them. It was a bear, and still wouldnt go on without misalligning that gasket on the airbox. The turbo side was simple but the airbox side had me cursing again. Finally i got out the propane torch, heated the C pipe with the lip now chopped off to almost melting point, greased it, slid it on, tightened the clamps and its on there. I can almost kill the engine by holding my hand over the intake to the air filter housing now. It wont die if you rev it, just smokes like crazy.

Thank you guys for the help. Next time ill remember to order a new C pipe before i tear into it and prepare for war
