One minor item to be aware of...
My gasket was leaking...but only causing problems under boost. The two
bolts on the passenger side had trails going right around them...no actual
gasket was broken...just the area around the bolts. This made it pretty
hard to figure out without looking down the TB bores after a "hard run"
under boost.
