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.

Will he need a gasket for the now metal to metal surface. umm there IS an oem gasket for it. you just need to order the one for the mr2 motor, that normally comes with a stock aluminum inlet. thats what i did for mine. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
