Figured it was a vacuum leak so I started by spraying MAF cleaner around the hoses, then worked my way down. Discovered that when I sprayed under the SC snout towards front of engine on top of the intake manifold the car would try to stall a bit. Shined my flashlight on there and discovered there is a hole, or gap, as if there is supposed to be gasket or something covering this spot. It’s about an inch long lengthwise ( back to front of car ) and about an eighth inch wide ( base of SC/top of Intake mani towards pulleys ) not sure how to add pictures yet but if this isn’t normal it would probably solve the issues I’m having. Thanks in advance and sorry if I’m posting in the wrong spot.

    Being as I am unable to edit my profile to put pics up and don’t have photobucket, anyone wanting to see a video and pics can shoot me an email and I can attach them on there. Curtisreeves22@gmail.com
    You’d probably have better luck starting your own thread than injecting your question into someone else’s. That’s usually considered bad form on most forums. Just link this one in your post for reference.

    Also, even if you upload to facebook or imgur or something (both are free) you can still link to here. Just click the little icon to add a picture, select the tab for a url instead of your pc, and paste the url. Unselect the option to save it on the server.

    That being said, nobody can even begin to guess until we see pictures, and most people don’t wanna be playing email tag with forum people for pictures.

    There is a vacuum line under the snout where you’re looking that dry rots and breaks, but I can’t think of anything that would look like a gap that needs a gasket.

    Gap under supercharger 3800 series III - Album on Imgur

    Thanks FriboRage. I think it is just not covered by the gasket, but seems weird that the supercharger base doesn’t cover it. Let me know if the link doesn’t work. It’s right under the black torx bolt on bottom right of supercharger
