Hope I'm posting in the right area here.

I smoked the entire intake after the MAF and found good size leakes on both sides of the throttle body at the shaft seals. Have any of you guys replaced these and/or know where they can be be found? (60mm throttle body). Thanks

They are bearings no? If it's leaking, then have the seals been blown out?

Those seals are meant to keep dirt out not boost in. You need a tb meant for boost.

I'm pretty sure it is the MsA TB. There is slight side to side play but I'm not sure if it has bearings or bushings with possibly seals on the outside. Maybe it's not making a difference in performance just didn't know if anyone had replace them due to a boost leak issue.
