cant seem to fix this boost leak...found it though.

[Beanokid69]

I have a boost leak that is right where the spring is for my TB. If i put my fingure between the piece of TB and spring i can seal it up alittle bit. But idk why exactly its leaking there.

Is this normal for it to leak there?

and there is a pinsized hole on my MBC is that normal or should i plug it?

Throttle body shaft seal is leaking not supposed to buy it could use a rebuils with a replacement seal.
Do not plug the small hole for the mbc, it is there to relieve pressure, it will leak a little but it will be fine.

thanks guys but I found a page on vfaq that i seemed to miss when i was doing my original search....instead of buying those 11 dollar rings from machv you can buy 20 cent rings from home depot or w/e and use the original metal ring that they go inside....no shipping and you can find the money on the ground at the parking lot

Be very careful getting out those metal rings, if you use the wrong angle and pressure you just end up crushing the inner portion and then you're screwed. I ended up having to buy the hydraulic seals since i messed up the metal rings.

heres a quote from dejonpowerhouse's instal pdf for their boost controller.

A bleeder hole in the white plastic fitting going to the Turbo wastegate actuator determines boost
overshoot vs. slow response-creep. No hole or a small hole works best for low boost since a high
signal is required, (too large a hole causes high spikes like NO controller). A large hole works
best for high boost since it allows fast spoolup (a small hole gives slow response). The fitting
hole is .043" dia. and works well from 14-18psi. If running higher boost, you may want to drill
this hole larger but not over 1/16".

i removed that fitting with the bleeder hole because mine kept blowing out larger. made it a real pain in the ass to keep a consistant boost. spools a little slower but i was able to tune around that by maxing out the timing sliders in vac. anyway. there ya go.
