tb shaft seal

[Cassanova122407]

ok guys i have a few more questions for any one who can help..
Ihave recently changed over my wastegate (internal)after such i could not build any boost so i checked the operation of the actuator it worked as it should.
I then decided to do a blt and i have discovered i had new leaks apearing out of the blue,I found that i wanna call it a bung on the lower half (passenger side)of the intake manifold was leaking like a sob i decided to pull it out and properly seal it to my suprise the bung hole was stripped so I repaired the best i could and tryed again worked great.But still no pressure I could hear the air rushing out so i dig deeper and the air is coming out of the throttle body shaft I have searched for 2 days now and all I have seen is to rebuild or replace the tb my qustion is is it still safe to drive like this till i have the funds to get it replaced??
Are there any temp fixes?
(so it is clear i build no boost at all)


sorry for the long post wanted to explain the best I could thank you,
chris

You can just replace the shaft seals. There is a VFAQ on how to do it:http://www.plymouthlaser.com/tbor.htm. It's a very common place for boost leaks. I've replaced mine, its not that hard. You can get the seals from JNZ, STM, or ExtremePSI, see the links below:

Im in the market for a set of these. I get a discount at my local mitsu dealer are these available through the dealer? I've searched but can't seem to find a part number for them so I'm guessing not.

I went to advanced auto parts and they managed to order me some shaft seals. I was pretty nervous about changing them out but it's actually pretty simple, you don't have to remove much. Good luck!

No, they are not. There is no OEM part number for them.

Um, you pretty much have to take the whole thing apart to replace the shaft seals. The only thing that doesn't come off is the FIAV. But everything else needs to be disassembled.
