The flattened exhaust tip is available from Newell and there is a post on this site about it's cost, seems to me it was around $600. They are hand made but not sure if by Newell.
I also had nicks on the compressor blades but did not change the turbo. My restriction indicator was at the inlet to the turbo and always was way up near the red even after changing the filter. The inlet offset was 5" so I changed it to 6" which required different hump hoses. It was a pretty sizeable task since it took two 6" 45's hand fitted to the right angle with a small roll and a notch in the wall. The end result was 30psi boost without restriction. Little gain in fuel economy for all the effort. The silencer was also replaced but not before it was opened and all internal baffles removed. Now, the 60 can breathe and has plenty of power to push 60,000lbs. Average fuel economy is 7.5mpg.
I did find a blanket manufacturer that is about half the cost of ATP and they have record of the dimensions, if anyone is interested.
