TB Seals again

Ok I replaced the seals and zip tied the lines and tightened the t-bolt lol Spent over 100 some dollars to fix a Vac leak.....THATS NOT FIXED!! lol Ok Now I am getting a hissing sound around the TB and when I squeeze the spring attached to the throttle cable arm/swing the hissing becomes more of a lower toned hissing.......I even bought the Works that everyone brags about......
Is this my seals again? I havent even driven it yet....

I'm going to guess that they are not seated correctly... Did you use lube?

Duct tape... It keeps the world sealed...

I understand man, I start to lose patience really quick and my German temper on top of that just makes things worse...

Keep us posted on what you find...

Just be happy you haven't popped an IC coupler on a freeway without shoulders at 9pm in a construction zone before.
