Throttle Body Leaking during boost leak test need a list of gaskets/seals etc.

[4gfun]

My throttle body was leaking during the boost leak test, so I decided that I should just take it off and investigate. I did a search on the combined boost leak thread but it takes me about 3 hours to go through it properly. (I tried it the other night).

I would like to know every gasket/o-ring for this throttle body and where I can get the parts from. (I prefer to get them online rather than locally).

I also found 2 seperate throttle body shaft replacement links but I read that they may be outdated??

As much information on this topic as possible would be appreciated.

I also noticed that the intake pipe to throttle body gasket was torn and it was not metal either. The TB to IM pipe was ok, but I think it is cork. I heard that they are supposed to be metal.

I think that the throttle shaft seal might be bad because the sound varied as I changed the throttle position.

I hope that I did not remove the TB needlessly. Shouldn't some noise there be normal?

Thanks

There is all the parts you need there. Rebuilding them is rather easy, sometimes getting the throttle plate back through the shaft can be a pain.

Nice one, I had no idea that kits were so readily available.

I would recommend the Mil-spec seals over the ones in that kit because they are metal rings instead of all rubber. They are a tight fit but work the best.

Thanks!

Be sure to check all o-rings and gaskets: throttle body, throttle body elbow, shaft seals, biss o-ring, isc o-ring. After all that it should be good.
