Thread: TB Boost Leak?

Car was running funny where the idle would dip really low whenever i slowed down, so i went ahead and started leak testing the car. So far I found 2, the manual boost controller was leaking so I replaced it with a spare one, leak gone. The next one is a little bit more troubling, it seems to be leaking through the TPS sensor, which im guessing is seeping through the shaft seals in the throttle body. How do I even fix this? Ive tried searching but doesnt seem like anyone had this leak issue? Is this even repairable, or do i HAVE to get a new throttle body?

they sell throttle body gaskets might want to start there

its not the TB to IM gasket, its where the TPS mates to the TB. I feel the leak on the lower side of the TPS

edit::
OH i guess that can be confusing, im running hte outlaw VE thermal spacers, theyve only been on for less than a year, so the gasket is still fairly new.

appears that EVOs have a solution, they are able to replace their seals.

have you happened to resolve the issue? i have the same problem and have not been able to find a solution short of people saying to buy another TB. in my mind that doesn't seem logical, as the next one may have or develop the same issue.

if i stop being lazy, i'll take mine apart and see if RTV can cure it.
