2012 wrx intercooler leak

avikm289 · 01-10-2013, 08:41 AM

I've had the throttle body to intercooler seal on the throttle body come loose and leak air this past month 3 times and was wondering if there was a better seal for it. I'll post pics up in a few of what I'm talking about

Remove those rubber gasket/caps from BOTH ends of the throttle body hose.

This, I had the same problem. Took the rubber ends off, clamped onto the hose itself. 11k miles ago, no problems yet.
