well i did a boost leak test yesterday.. my throttle body leaks pretty bad. i really dont wanna replace the seals myself after reading the vfaq.. is anybody here willing to offer their services? i will order the seals myself, so all ya gotta do is replace them.
if its too much though, i may just buy another tb. i found one for a decent price that has already had the seals replaced. |

QUOTE (The Iron Goat @ Mar 28 2006, 07:41 PM) QUOTE (scrapin_frame @ Mar 28 2006, 01:43 PM) alright... so duct tape is a good leak fixer, right?  I once made an entire engine out of alumnimum foil, duct tape, JB Weld, and RTV. Ran a little rough, but it got the job done. Definitely track down the leaks and seal 'em up. Let us know your progress. Mine ran just fine  I'm going to second with Nate. Notice how your timing falls off past 6300 with no knock to make that happen. A boost leak will do the same kinds of strange things. -------------------- GVR4 866/1000 = the perpetually broken car
