Hi,
I just got ATSracing's 2.5" metal throttle intake piece to replace the rubber type that came with the celica 3sgte. It did not come with a gasket or seal to go btn it and the throttle body. I know the OEM rubber one didn't either but the fact that this new one is metal makes me wonder if it would make me leak under boost if I just bolt it on without any type of gasket/seal. I know some of you have the MR2 metal one and I want to know how you guys have it bolted on. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. **Edit***: Never mind, I got the answer to this question already. there is a thin gasket from toyota for it. Thanks This post has been edited by malecrod: Jul 1, 2007 - 5:15 PM -------------------- 3sgteing.

Yes, go to AZ and tell him you need some gasket material. Then remove the throttle body and trace its outline on the gasket material. Cut it out, punch a hole in the center for the airflow path and rock it.
The important thing is to spend some time with your knife and make the gasket be as true as possible to the shape of the t-body. -------------------- NASA/SCCA RX-7....currently under the knife
