I've developed a boost leak at the throttle body shaft. It seems the TB seals are kind of hard to get these days. Is there a local source? If I buy a bunch, how long can I expect them to last?

Thanks,

-Mike

Machv.com sells them. That's where I've always got mine.

That's where I was going to get them unless there was a local source.

Just a quick note. A new TB will be offered in the next couple of months. I'm working on the blueprints to get the final piece off to my machinest. This TB will be in race DSM form meaning it will not be emissions legal. The TB will have larger throtle shaft and thicker throtle plate with male to female cap screws, also only one vac line for boost guage reference. It will not have any EGR, like the one magnus sells. There will be several different sizes to choose from. Price to be determined soon as the build cost has not been finalized yet. Oh and my favorite Part this will be a full billet piece other than the throtle assembly.

Mike, I usually keep a few sets on hand--I buy 3 sets at a time and split the shipping costs between the sets because I always know someone who needs some. If you'd like to pick up a set to save a few bucks on shipping, let me know.
