FIxed a Boost leak today

[Green93TalonTSi]

Yep, I had a boost leak right at the TB , those small little gasket/bushings were bad. Luckily a friend had a few extras laying around, but still had to get a new gasket for the TB , and man was that a challenge ! No part store around me had 1 ! So........... I had to make 1, man this is the most ghetto gasket I have ever seen in my life, but hey it works, and no more boost leak ! So im happy ! And I also cleaned my TB too, taht thing was horribly dirty ! Here are a few pics, of my cleaned TB and my ghetto gasket,

What did you end up making the new TB gasket with?

you can buy sheets of gasket material at any auto store (advance, napa, pep boys, discount)
