How do you test for a boost leak in the throttle body?

The same way you test for a boost leak everywhere else. Pressurize the system and see what gives. I ordered my TB seals yesterday.

Holy thread hijack

Try a boost leak test on your clutch to see if its leaking friction

Fully stock since I had my accident a few years ago. 68K is my mileage on the original clutch. I figured its time is up but I just thought it was odd this happened right after the battery died...

I just changed oil in my Subie and it immediately blew a head gasket. Coincidence? I think not.

They're making fun of you, and honestly its really funny. Your clutch is going out. Your battery has nothing to do with this issue and it was 100% a coincidence. It's like saying I just got new tires and my fuel pump went out. Huh? 68k on original clutch? I don't even have to drive it to diagnose it. Clutch, done deal.
