well i need to find out how to stop this air leak or whatever it is...

okay and the other thing is where can i get one of these at? and is it possible to fix it? cause its giving my no boost since its apart like that...

 

that green thing is a check valve. u can get a set of upgraded ones from daleclark maybe he will chime in. or go to clubrx.org to contact him

 

remove the elbow, four 10mm nuts and disconnect it from the intercooler hose/pipe.

you'll need a new o-ring, call Ray at Malloy Mazda, 888 533 3400. He owns an FD, just describe to him what you need.

 

That TBM gasket is an expensive little bitch, around $30 if my memory serves. One CAN do a ghetto fix and use a little blue silicone gasket maker along with the old 'O' ring, but it is ALWAYS best to get a new gasket.

 

Yeah, the leak around the TB is due to a bad or missing O-ring on the throttle body entrance. They do cost more than you'd think, but it's definitely a good idea to replace it. To install the new one, clean the O-ring passage out with brake cleaner or the like so it's clean and grease-free. Put some clear RTV silicone into the groove, then work the O-ring in. The RTV will hold it in place over time.

I do sell replacement Viton check valves - set of 4 for $15 shipped, which is cheaper than 1 new one from Mazda. Head here for more info -

I dont think the o-ring is that high but Ray did hook me up with it, he also sent me a clock and some other stuff in a box that made it like an easter egg hunt to find!
