    Acceptable method for fixing intake air boot leaks

    I noticed that I had a slight air leak at one of my air boots. So I pulled it off and noticed that I have a pin hole, just enough.

    What is a exceptable method to fix it, super glue?

    Thanks

    There are probably exceptable methods but not too many that are acceptable.

          you know I'm not trying to be rude or mean here


          but

          i just don't get how it is that people think that super glue will fix an oil or air leak
          i really just don't get it

            The only way to fix it is to throw some money at it.

            When you have thrown enough money at it, some new boots wilil magically appear in their places.

            Any bodge that you might apply like super glue, silicone, whatever, should only be used to get you home,
            if you are not already there. If you ARE at home, STAY THERE while you order your new boots.

              I ended up getting a boot off someone local.

                You need a new set of boots if one is that bad

                  More like on a troll.
                  Do not take exception to that though.
