help. need turbine housing in UT, NV or CA

Currently in Salt Lake City, Utah and traveling to Sacramento. The exhaust gasket between my manifold and turbo blew out so I'm not getting any boost. I'm towing about a 6000lb load so with no boost and these hills, it pretty much sucks. Traveling for the last day trying to keep the exhaust temp below 1000*. The exhaust blowing through the gasket has eroded the turbine housing away so when I finally found a Cummins shop open on Sunday to get another gasket, the gasket wouldn't seal. I tried doubling the gaskets up but it still was not enough. So, I'm going to keep trucking and hopefully find someone with a turbine housing they are willing to sell. This is for a 98 12-valve. My current housing is a 16 but will be happy to find a stock 12 replacement. So if someone has one somewhere between Utah and Sacramento, PLEASE call me at <deleted>. Thank you very much!
