For anyone who has this prob,or would want there tb bored. There are some guys in Texas that bore and fix tpi tb's. They can bore them up to 52mil and install undersized bearings on the shaft (like the gn's)so there is not any boost leak. They will bore them and do the bearings for 169.00 plus 9.95 shipping or if you just want to get yours fixed the will do the bearings for 60 bucks. horsepowerguy@sbcglobal.net There is there e-mail and faq page is http://users3.ev1.net/~thor10/tbodytest.htm
They have mine right now and let me know if you want pics of it when it comes back. This is a much cheaper way to go to me and you don't have to worry about it not fitting like most aftermarket parts because it is the stock one from the truck.

Thanks, Matthew

Yeah I have checked these guys out before.
Every little bit has got to help.


I plan to send off my TB too once the Ty is stored for winter.

Make sure to get some pics of yours when you get it back before you install it.

Isn't looking good.

Their webpage is down and emails bounce.
Hmmm, wonder if theres any other way to get ahold of them or if they gave it up...

You got your TB back yet Matthew?

Hope to have back in a few days, I am NC, so it takes a little time to get it back from Texas. I did not even know mine was leaking until I did the tube tire trick when I was in PA. Had to use soap and water to find the leak because it would leak down so fast. There number is 1-512-336-2507
It seems like my truck is alredy doen for the winter, do tb,3" dp,l35's P+P, intakes P+P,roller rockers, Jet hot headers x-over and dp,msd distributor,and just cleaning up the engine compartment, and powder coat on the fender wells.

It really sucks taking apart something that was running :(
