I had trouble this week looking for heater hoses for my 8 valve and it's not even a turbo. GF I own one of the last production cars ('88) and it's past its typical upstate NY lifespan by about four years.
Your one savior: online places, some of whom sponsor this very BB. These places are my lifeline for things like a CI thermoswitch or the aforementioned heater hoses. Plus they keep TSN running. Mutually fulfilling, what could be better?
Also check the class ads around here- just find somebody with "multiple 900 and 9000 parts" and drop 'em a line.
Heads do get heavy though, maybe you want to check all local sources like junkyards before you venture into paying for shipping charges.
You just gotta be persistent. There are plenty of parts out there (even for 99s in places) you just have to know where to look. It has taken me a couple of years and I'm still finding new nooks o' the internet but the folks down the street have started to wonder "where does he still get parts for that old car?"
