What needs to be rebuilt?

Is the shaft wobbling in the throttle body casting? If so, thats a job for a good machine shop as nobody offers "rebuild kits" for such things.

I am loosing about 2lbs of boost , so we traced the leak to the throttle body. I though I would be able to get a rebuild kit. I had the same problem on my 944 turbo and they made a kit and all was good.

I know it is not leaking from the seal. It is leaking from the throttle plate stem. I would have though there were oring seals in there or something. Thanks John

Remember now,....those throttles were never made for forced induction so one should be looking for someone who can install some seals on there that will withstand the boost you are running.
