Using A paper Throttle body gasket - Toyota Tundra Forums : Tundra Solutions Forum

I bought a paper supercharger throttle body gasket from URDUsa and I was wondering if this is a proper replacement for the gasket that comes with the charger kit. Is the gasket that comes with the kit paper?

Yes it is a fiber gasket. Just the stock gasket is metal.

Hey dsconstructs, one quick question...Which hoses did you use that were brand new in the installation of the charger?

I just pulled out the manual to see what parts it lists.
1/8" vacuum plug
3/8" vacuum plug
hoses are
1/2" x 34" long
3mm x 9" long
3mm x 5" long

Mine was installed by Toyota, but I was looking at what's in the box and the 1/2" hose is only about 10" long at best. Which looks right according to the hose routing diagram. The tacomas, 4 runners, t100s have another long length of hose running to the air tub between air box and throttle body.
Hope that helps.

DAMN, you want to hear a good one? I am so glad you asked me about these hoses. Upon inspecting this stuff some more, I find that when they uninstalled this they broke the plastic hose barb off the bypass valve. It was stuck in the end of the hose. I would have been shipping this off end of the week probably, since it was basically sold pending funds transfer to my end of the week.
Now to see if I can get that replaced by TRD under warranty since it was dealer installed/uninstalled afterall. :cry:
