thanks man,
but i saw 1 turbo got lining( astep) but not the black abraidable seal.

^I don't understand what you were trying to explain.

The black polymer lining around the compressor inlet (#1 in the picture above) is the black abraidable seal.

Philip, the abbraidable seal is the best visual. do also check the freeplay of shaft before buying.
