F that. I'm not ghetto, and nothing on my car is either.

My old seals were f-ed for sure. Very brittle. I hot tanked and painted my throttle body, I JB welded the FIAV passage on the backside of the TB and installed the new seals obviously. I also swapped over return springs from a 2G throttle body because they had a lot more "snap" to them compared to my 1G spings. Threw it on this morning with new gaskets from mitsu. Throttle response is better, idles better, and still have fuel cut. (ghey, I did all this because I had a bad boost leak at the TB shaft).
