Throttle Body - Rebuilt
It is time to swap in a rebuilt 1G throttle body. I have had a long standing issue with the shaft seals, waiting to be addressed and today is finally the day
Amazed the old gasket came off nearly intact.
Rich Howell gave my e-bay 1G TB find a complete overhaul and refinish. Here are the comparison photos:
New mil-spec shaft seals, half-shaft mod powder coated gloss black and a killer silver/sparkle/clear combo for accents. Polished brass, and a 2G mod to better work with the EGR vacuum lines, which leave an additional port to support the bottom nipple on my greddy BOV.
Super Bad ass job - did me proud people!
New Gaskets, a slight tweak to the water lines, and it’s right were it goes, torqued on to spec.
