That's pretty much what I did. I held the end of the plunger to the supercharger case with my thumb, the tightened the BBV bolts. I guess it'll be a new supercharger gasket, I want to upgrade to the newer metal style for my Gen V anyways. What I don't under stand about the gasket solution is the fact that a vacuum leak would cause a lean condition, which would put my LTFT's in the positive, right?
I won't have the car back until Saturday, so I'll try swapping out the MAF then. I've done a fuel pump rewire, and I've also torn the MAF plug apart and soldered the connections. When I bought the car the wires were fraying a bit. I've got extra grounds and a larger charge wire, and while the engine was out (for around 4 months!) I cleaned every sensor's connection, along with every ground, so I think I can rule a connection issue out. It does seem to run a bit hot, it'll max out around 200-225, but this issue doesn't seem to be temperature related.
