Sadly didn’t have any photos of the old setup, but it was the plate with a penny RTV’d into the hole and bolted in. I think I tweaked the exhaust side block off when I was installing the headers after the top swap.

i was referring to the current setup you have going on that's leaking.

Probably should’ve specified earlier but the leak is more of a hypothesis for why my fuel trims are off, I haven’t been able to actually locate a leak.

Here’s some pics of the current setup, apologies if it’s a little dark.

That looks normal, is that photo from today or the day you did it? You'd see carbon buildup of it was leaking.

They’re from this morning, I can’t identify any carbon buildup so it’s starting to look like the vac leak is somewhere else in the system. School’s had me a bit busy lately so I haven’t had very much time to chase said leak.
Mild leak aside the car runs like a top, still can’t stress enough the fact that you’re a magician when it comes to tuning.

What's your psi under idle and cruising at 55mph on a flat surface? Should be in the negatives around 8-20

Sorry for being MIA, school and weather have both kept my car in the garage.

At 55 it sits right around -10psi, +/- a degree at most.

The oddest thing happened to me today though. Drove it to an errand, AFRs sitting around 16, obviously not ideal. Kill the car, run in, run out, then cruise around for a bit to enjoy the weather.
After maybe 20 minutes of cruising, I look down to see my AFRs have magically restored themselves to the 14.5ish that I’ve been wanting to see! I’m gonna keep pondering up but I still haven’t been able to come up with an idea for what could cause it to suddenly behave normally.

Use the attached layouts for HPT and send me a scan of cruising and a few safe pulls along with your current tune if changed since we last did anything and ill get you something to try.

 

[PierreNotPear]

Scans taken and (finally) sent over.

Popping in to say I'm still alive, and slow car still slow. Scored ZZP Gen2 springs on the cheap to install this summer when I have time.

Those will really make the car look good. Try to convert your rubber to poly while you're down there doing the suspension. You can get the inserts from energy suspension.
