    That looks identical to the one I had on mine N/A I don't think it's the right one for you since your supercharged. The L36 throttle body is shaped way different then the L67 throttle body that probably matches up like crap.

    I put a arrow where the hole is on the supercharger to show you guys
    And a picture of the throttle body spacer all gummed up from coolant
    I broke the gasket so have to get one tomorrow. Cleaned up the sensor, walls lots of build up
    thanks paperweights gone lol
    I would like to know what that hole is didn't see anything from inside the supercharger but the hole was sucking air
    and i think that is why my car would jerk going up steep inclines from the vac leak

    Still hard to tell what the hole is from because of the picture quality is the supercharger cracked?

    They don't even sell a L67 throttle body spacer. Do you see how much different the L36 UIM is shaped it's like oval instead of round like the L67 supercharger inlet.

    no, just a smooth hole. it looks factory, no way that could have happened from wear and tear.
    Does anybody have this or should i fill it?

    Can you feel air coming out of the hole when the car is running? Does it idle different or normal if you put your finger over it while it's running?

    Also that's what my throttle body spacer looked like all stained like that I was pissed. It was leaking coolant into my motor and I didn't even know. I should have bought a different brand with a oring gasket. But it's pointless anyways so who cares lol.

    It sucks air in, and no it does not change the idle
    When going up steep inclines the car would surge rpm's would bounce around a little and you would here it. i bet that would be from the vac leak?

    Yea it's deffently not factory or suppose to be there. I'd weld it if you can probably some jb weld or something like that from the parts store would work just fine. Kinda weird never seen that before has it always been there? Or did you just notice it?

    I've heard the leak for two year now and looked for it many time but thought it was coming from the bypass valve and only used my ears. this time i used soap and water sprayed the area and heard the intake sucking in the water. Then i thought maybe that where the problem was

    Where did you get it? I don't think Taylor makes a L67 spacer.

    Here's my L36 throttle body that matches up with your spacer it's way different. The actual hole diameter is a couple millimeters smaller too so your probably losing hp with it. My spacer was stained a little along the lower edge but not nearly as much as yours you might me burning a bunch of coolant.

    Take it back if you can that's outrageous. How much coolant? I mean any is bad you should change your oil asap.
