Default How to seal up Throttle body on Boosted B18c51!!

Hi guys

I have a Build B18C5 with Sleeved block 9:1 pistons Rods. Port and polish Head Crower Valvetrain, 550cc and a T3/To4e, inlinepro header with a 3 inch inlet and a 3" exhaust system....Its all in a EG5

Im runing just for now 8psi will crank it up to 20psi.

My problem is my TB is leaking!! the engine was new rebuild and all new gaskets. Do you guys use a special gasket so seal up the TB???? Or just the OEM gasket??

Just use to hose clamps next to each other - and tighten them down very well. You shouldn't have any problems. Or get a backup throttle body and weld that son of a bitch on.
