Find a Evo specific shop or take on the job yourself.

I brought mine to my local Mitsu telling them I was not able to get full boost pressure and I could hear hissing (air leaking) from the throttle body, they claimed it was a loose clamp and gave me my car back, but it was still there.

So finally, I brought it to STM for the issue along with some other work I wanted done. Now I am very happy! lol

Honestly I have not heard of em before. My TB seals have never leaked so I never had much reason to check for solutions and stumble on a thread like this one. Not even sure how I stumbled on this one lol.

^^^ There's your how to. Good luck and be careful putting the new seals in. Make sure they go in even. I had to order a new set because mine caught on the TB and rolled the lip over the gasket. Pissed me off

+1 on all counts here, heh.

As I said they didn't find the leak but this is what I find out after I got it home
and check under my car , they made a 2 inch dent on my downpipe.
My $800 TBE. WTF!!!
