I wasn't sure if I should cry, throw up or break something when I disscovered this.

The previous owner had someone else install the 6 bolt in the car. That guy used RTV on everything!(Well, minus the exhaust gaskets) But he also had gaskets in there, he must have layed down a fat bead all the way around because there was a 1/4 inch bead on the inside and outside of the TB.

On top of all that shit on there, there was still a boost leak at that gasket. Took about 20min to clean everything up.

Also, I hadn't noticed that the car had a 2g TB until I did the boost leak test and looked at it. So I am looking for a 1g TB perferably one with good seals.
