B18FT Intake/Exhaust manifold seal

Hello, seems that I have problem to get correct manifolds seal from dealers. Volvo does not sell it anymore and other sources keeps offering me seal which fit B18F.
Ideas anyone?

Hi, the parts list says '3344D44-7' for the turbo head gasket set. I tried searching the net with that number but got better results with 344044...

If you contact these guys they may be able advise whether the inlet and exhaust manifold gaskets (which are part of the above kit) are available for purchase separately. So Volvo don't stock these anymore.....we should add to our list of parts no longer available.....

I asked from both dealers and they don't sell that manifolds seal separately. Seems that I am now ordering complete kit.

Actually I thought that Renault has NOT used this engine with turbo anywhere?

I think theyre all the same.
Most of the head parts listed on ebay seem to fit all specs of 480 engines.
