Maybe a stupid question but...I finally got my smoke machine put together and have a few small leaks here and there:
1.) TPS on the sensor side
2.) Throttle Body plate shaft (heard there is nothing you can do about this and it is more or less normal)
3.) Bypass valve shaft on the back of the plenum
4.) Oil cap
The only large leak is the oil cap, and this is because for some reason the Mustang oil cap does not fit properly and doesn't seal. Do SC's take vacuum at the oil cap, and could this be my problem? I am facing some wicked vacuum issues.
Thoughts on the other leak places are also welcome, please. Need your guys' help!
EDIT: I also pull relatively low boost (5 PSI WOT) and low vac (-5 to -8 at idle, sometimes it hits zero after driving for a short time). The car may also die occasionally when putting it into reverse or drive after idling or driving.
