Another "China TB" Thread. Leaking at linkage. I'm aware these are "junk". Not looking to hear I need to buy a $500+ TB. Ive used these in the past and they work ok for what I've done for the most part. They have all leaked a bit at the shaft. I'm not concerned with small leaks. This latest TB however a "G-plus 92mm is leaking what I'd consider excessively at the shaft. I can't even get bubbles to form with soapy water as the leak is so severe. Worsens when I open it 100%. Anyone take these apart or find a solution for making this less severe? Or have a suggestion for a replacement that isn't $500.
I did notice the fitech units seem to be of a different mold and have heard a few good things. These are $172 from speedway.
Any suggestions? thanks!

Used a WARR TB on my last car. It was like $150 or so. It did leak a little around the shaft but I contacted the company, sent it back and they fixed it. IT was flawless after that. Don't think the leak was significant enough to cause any issues.
