Wrong 1g throttlebody to 2g intake gasket...

[Jaydog]

I may have a leak from the gasket between 1g tb and intake. The previous owner had a Magnus intake on and sold it and put the stock 2g intake back on. By the looks of it he used the old gasket and it appears to be 2 gaskets together as seen in the pictures. Is the gasket for the Magnus the same as the stock 2g intake one?

I haven't done a boost leak test yet but I though of spraying carb cleaner while running and see if the idle changes...

What do you think?

If it's not broken there is no need to replace it..If it doesn't leak that is why replace it..If it's leaking then reaplace it..Do a blt and figure out what to do from there..

The gasket goes with your throttle body, not with the intake manifold, so the gasket wouldn't have changed. Why he doubled it up is beyond me, and certainly could lead to a leak. The advice though of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" sure does apply here... test for pressure leaks and if there are none leave it alone for now.

You probably also have some leakage from the 4 nipples on top, as the vacuum caps aren't secured by zip ties.
