How many lbs of torque do you guy tighten down your throttle body with. The four bolts on the studs that is. This is for a itr throttle body btw. TIA

 

I usually do it hand tight.

1 3
4 2

But i think the helms says 16-18lbs.

 

Thanks alot bro

 

I just tighten it real good, Ive had vacuum leak issues there before because of not being tight enough.

 

In that case your TB gasket might be worn out.

Just be careful when you tighten those nuts since most of the stuff is aluminum and **** breaks easy.

 

I'm currently pulling a PO505 IACV with brand new IACV and brand new throttle body gasket how likely is it that I didn't tighten enough I mean I went until there was a fair bit of resistance on the bolts when I was tightening them down should I pull them a little bit a couple of ughhs real quick ones
