I was cleaning my throttle body up that i was planning on using and i noticed that there is a rubber seal on the side of it where the TPS sensor goes. I noticed that it is chewed up a bit and im wondering if this is going to affect anything at all or if its just there for dust protection? I dont think this piece is replaceable or at least it would be nearly impossible to find.

Hopefully someone knows because im stumped like a tree.

Dust seal. Just ignore it unless you get a vacuum leak.

OH really is it an SR one? Weird this is from an S13 SR so it may be different then yours.
