Quick Part Identification Please W123

I just got a couple parts in from ******** which I believe are wrong.
My question is this; does the gasket that goes on the turbo inside the air intake boot have a notch in the middle of it? I can't take it off to look b/c the gasket that is in there is being held together by spit basically and once it's off it's not going back on without a new one. If i remember correctly its the air filter side of the boot that has the gasket with the notch in the middle; the turbo one is smooth. Is that right?
Also, I thought I was ordering the hose that runs from the valve cover to the air filter housing but got something totally different. Anyone have a part number to help me identify that part?
Thanks for the help.

They are two very different sizes. But you are correct, the turbo inlet seal should be smooth and the air cleaner seal has a notch in the middle.

If you need to get by for a day or two, I had received a air cleaner seal after my turbo seal disintegrated. I was able to cut the larger seal, flip it over and trim to fit inside the turbo end of the elbow. Not an ideal long-term solution, but it worked until I was able to get a new turbo side seal in.

I actually used the new air clear seal correctly and used the old one to make the temp turbo side seal. No use in cutting up a new seal.

wow, how did you get the old seal to form? I mean, wow. most of my seals are so hard they could cut diamonds... I'd bet anything they would shatter if that were attempted.

I think the old air cleaner seal was actually somewhat new. But since I had been shipped that same seal, I went ahead and replaced it. With the old one now in hand, I was able to make a temporary turbo inlet seal.
