While I was working on the intake I sent the 1G TB out to be powder coated. Nothing fancy, just a gloss black to clean it up. I also picked all new gaskets from Extreme PSI's website.
When I got it back I immediately went to work. I started by disassembling it.
You can see here the shaft seals are totally shot and desperately in need of replacement. If you have a wandering idle or a slight boost leak from somewhere, it could be TB shaft seals that are causing you problems.
I also pick up a FIAV block-off plate from JMF. No need to be dealing with this for a car that's only driven during the summer months.
In order to clean up the throttle shaft real well I had to disassemble it a bit further.
