This is normal. You can have new tighter bushings put in.

yeah, what he said. Mines so bad that I cant check for leaks with the bike tube trick, holds 0 pressure. In the process of putting bushings in it.

where did you buy bushings? did you experience any stumble from the boost leak?

Sorry, what I meant to say was, Im in the process of finding the bushings and or someone who can put sealed bearings in there, I dont have them right now. I actually have had very little problems with the leaky throttle body, might be a little hard to build up past 13#. I just really want it all to be tight as a drum.
