    I recently checked my LTFT and FFDP had said based on reading I had a vacuum leak I had a very bad leak after reinstalling a rebuilt supercharger at the TB that shot coolant out my intake and later burned white smoke for about 3 minutes. everything was fine but after installing headers I realized the idle was rough and WOT was even rougher I definitely can identify the sound of the leak after hearing one now and know it is coming from around my driverside. Even though I just replaced this gasket I think the spit of coolant it ate before being remounted took it's tool this is based soley on the vacuum leak LTFTs coupled with an intermitent coolant light even though my reservoir is full suggesting air bubbles in the system.<br>
    <br>
    Planning on chasing the leak with some starting fluid and making sure its coming from where I believe and than replacing gasket<br>
    <br>
    if anybody know any other likely culprits I could plan on checking if it isn't my TB gasket would be appreciated<br>
    <br>
    Thanx
