Re: [?] Intake Boot Sealing

["MrAudi" <mraudi25@epix.net>]

is there an obvious tear in it? they usually tear in the middle where it's
ribbed. i had a little luck fixing one with rtv sealant once. only lasted a
few weeks though. make sure you clean the rubber really really well or the
silicone will pell right off. goodluck!!!
