Default Skunk2 throttle body leaks under boost

Has anyone using the skunk2 throttle body boost leak tested their car. mine leaks at the shaft on the throttle cable side and the o-ring skunk2 supplies for the map sensor is to small and leaks under boost. I was able to find I thicker o-ring for the map sensor and stopped that leak. I did a Google search found that evo guys had the same problem and couldn't even use it because they have mass air flow and the car wouldn't even idle. They were saying that it's just a bearing with no seal on the shaft so it leaks.

Skunk2 replied with (Most of the throttle bodies will leak some boost under pressure.) so I guess all the skunk2 ones leak, I know the oem one don't leak under pressure.

I agree.
At some point I'm considering having Puddy bore my stock TB out at the same time as I purchase some other goodies from him.

My wallet is waiting though
