    That ICV thingy on the throttlebody

    This



    How do you guys keep it from popping out under boost?

    Mine is set with both locktite and a "lock bolt" but keep popping.
    Last tonight at 5k rpm in 5. and that sucks..

    hmm, threaded 90* elbow?

    I've never heard of one popping out under boost. actually, I notice lots of TB's for sale have them missing. I never could figure out where they went. mine were pretty stuck in there.

          is that an m20b25 TB? I never had one of those, but I'd weld it in.

                  I drilled a small hole at the top of the TB and the top of that fitting and pushed it to it's place and tight the screw(very small one).. and put some glue, it stopped popping

                    I JB Welded mine and it still popped out under boost. Bought a freeze plug that are typically used for oil pans and screwed that in there tightly. Then I secured it with a zip-tie around the throttle body and the freeze plug. The zip-tie was a little excessive but I didn't want to have any more issues and I haven't since.

                      If jbweld holds, your not running enough boost, 30 second epoxy has held up fairly well so far.
