    I have a air leak coming off the supercharger by where the throttle body mounts to the supercharger there is a hole on the housing on the bottom is this a problem or is this normal? It's a 2001 Gtp I've been leaking a little coolant don't know where and have a throttle body spacer on for the sound
    Thanks

    It's a factory hole by the base next to a bolt that holds down the supercharger

    post a pic.

    get rid of the spacer, they cause coolant leaks at the tb to blower. and they do nothing. other then leak.

    The throttle body spacer is definitely you're problem, they are prone to leaking. And they do nothing good for your motor.

    I had one of those Taylor spacers on my car when it was N/A cost me about a hundred bucks. The coolant seeped through the gasket too. Biggest waste of money ever didn't even notice a difference. I'd take it off like Scotty said. I ended up selling it on ebay for like 20 bucks.

    Are you referring to the hole that is between the vac line and wire harness? If so thats one of the 3 bolt holes for the TB to mount to the SC. Thats the only thing i can see in your pic that resembles a hole
    Just a bunch of junk thrown together http://www.grandprixforums.com/membe...ht=wowitsfasts
