Default TPS switch keeps coming apart-Does it need a reseal kit?

so my TPS switch keeps coming separated and then i have to snap it back together and i seem to remember somewhere reading that this happens when the seals start to go and then the boost pressure blows it apart. is that true? just wondering if an arnworxx reseal kit is in order before my TPS disintegrates.

Yes. Your throttlebody seals are bad - which allows boost pressure into the TPS, blowing off the cover.

No matter how many, or little miles on these cars - if you still have the original throttlebody seals, then they are bad. Replace them.
