Previous owner was using rtv to seal the throttle body to the intake manifold. After being unable to get the throttle body to seal with the gaskets on the last manifold, i chalked it up to a warped mounting surface and opted to swap the manifold for a known good manifold; i also picked up new...

what is the difference between using the blockoff plate and using this free mod:http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/articles-intake-exhaust/320951-fiav-adjustment-disable.htmlIs the plate even necessary? If not, what is the point of buying/installing the plate?

Im concerned that the mating surface on the intake manifold may not be perfectly flat. And, i also see a small grove or scrape in the mating surface of the intake manifold (where the throttle body meets the manifold).My question is: Should i use rtv or get the gaskets from the local...

This is probably a stupid question, but, id rather be sure.Im tapping my j-pipe for a dedicated boost source for my manual boost controller and the fittings i got are these: McMaster-Carrare these too big? will they cause a problem? Should i get a smaller fitting before i weld this in?

I was playing around with the car today, did a boost leak test and the system has a very slow leak, nothing major. I tried playing with the studder box and it wouldnt build boost? Turned on anti-lag just to see what would happen and it only built like 1 psi. Vacuum is around 18-19 mmhg, which is...

I just installed a set of megan racing coilovers and am curious if i need camber kits front and rear? How can i tell? And, why doesnt a simple 4-wheel alignment take care of this?Kit suggestions would also be great! Thanks again guys!
