I have the stock manifold on and sounds great again. Once I get the silver plate, ill be installing and troubleshooting again. When the issue is fixed, ill post the fix action here and the results in this thread for closure as well as the M370 thread because its a much larger thread and more popuar.

I was able to snap some photos today before the Motordyne manifold was taken off for the supercharger install. I'll start uploading them and update this thread.

The "T" should be connected to a total of 3 rubber hoses. The left of the "T" wraps all the way behind the manifold, the bottom connects to I believe either the crankcase or something that looks similar, the right same thing. The pictures I have in here ARE IN ORDER OF LEFT OF "T", BOTTOM OF "T", AND RIGHT OF "T" to where the hoses need to be connected.



Left of "T" Which wraps all the way behind the manifold and clamps to the manifold itself



Bottom of "T" to the crank case underneath the intake resonator.



Right of "T"




Sorry about the bad photos. I was in a hurry because I was in my mechanic's way.

Well that's a pisser, makes you wonder just how clueless the shop is/was if they never even mentioned a missing part or couldn't find it in the box!

They pointed it out to me when I went to go pick up the box. I did give them a lot of stuff to install, I think like 4 different boxes. I don't blame them for being clueless, but just not looking hard enough when we needed it. Problem was I didn't know that piece had to be on there or that I even had it. I was in constant contact with him during the installk to try and make sure it was done right. The manifold was the only thing I had that we had to find instructions for and had any real questions about. Now that it's been installed and removed, it's much easier. All I want is the M370 back on and not be charged as it was still a mishap on the shop. He is already expecting more business from me next week any ways. To not do this would be highly egregious on their part.

Hi, I see that your sig says that you live in Vegas. Did you get the oil cooler and everything else installed there?

Thanks and good luck!

Yeah, they installed everything. They will be tuning it next week as well. I'll be a the cars and coffee thing tomorrow in Henderson if you have any questions. I'll also be at the shop Monday to get the M370 put back on. They usually work after 5pm... At least that's when I usually see them there. PM me if you have any questions about them. I just seen them tune 50whp out of a 05 C6 vette...

M370 was installed last night again, properly this time. The problem definitely was the seal between the manifold and the block. Now that it's on properly, it is definitely working as advertised. I'll apply any future performance updates to the main M370 forum
