Greddy Compression tube question?

How does the Greddy compression tube seal up to the throttle body, is it an oring or a gasket? I know mine is leaking but before I go through the trouble of freezing outside today pulling it off I want to know what I need to get to seal it up.

Thanks,

on your throttle body there should be a gasket made out of rubber , it sandwiches in between the two and the tb its the one that has the groove for the oring to sit

Well now that I know its an oring I guess I am going to pull it out and take it to the oring supply in town to get a new one. I don't see why a rubber gasket wouldn't work either so that is my back up plan.

I have on of these tubes... I don't understand why they didn't design it so the stock air temp probe actually stickes out and into the air flow instead of being recessed... wtf.

Measure the old o-ring, then go to the local hydraulic store. I don't have the measurement handy but I have purchased the o-rings before. A few cents at the hydraulic shop...
