EMERGENCY!! - need advice on ISV gasket for 12v in '95 90q

[Joel Lenorovitz]

I was going through the process of cleaning the ISV as per the authoritative
directions - even down to the point of breaking one of the tabs off one of the
electrical connectors.  When I got to the part about leaving the ISV gasket in
place, though, I noticed a problem.  I have no gasket there.

Should there, in fact, be a gasket?  What does it look like?  Considering the fact
that it probably costs $45+ from Audi, is it possible to make one?  What sort of
things go through the ISV (air, gas, etc.) and what type of material would I need to
use to make one?  How detrimental is it to leave off?

I have everything ready to reassemble, but I'd like to get a gasket in first if it
needs one.  I need to get this all back together before work tomorrow so any speedy
advice would be appreciated.  Please e-mail me directly and thanks in advance for
the help,

Joel
