Smitty says;  Grant I have done literally dozens of turbos using vinel tubing from the home building supply.  You are going to have to do like I do and figure out what size.  I slip the tube over a wood dowell and cut off a slice like an O ring with a knife, cutting against the wood.  Cut a piece about 1/8 wide.  Slip it onto the bearing surface (shaft) just like the stuff GM originally supplied, and onto the ring.  Yeah the wall is thicker but that doesn't matter.  It goes up in smoke at the first jam on the throttle.
