Well a pic would help but they prob. just needs a good cleaning. A dirty LS TB and MAP is really not a big deal just clean them-be jentle and enjoy.

sorry to hijack here, but if you switch to an LS6 intake, do you still need a catch can?

^ yep... Still the same PCV system, regardless of the intake. Unless you change it to an LS6 valley where people still run the catch can.

^ I did the LS6 valley conversion with my 102/102 swap. Haven't ran it yet, but I'm gonna give it some time before I do a catch can. I may do one on the line coming from the VC to the TB. All this "dirty and clean side" stuff is news to me, but I still see any vacuum pulling fumes from the VC is a bad thing.

Here is the write-up I followed when I installed my LS6 Intake and LS6 Valley Cover...

I also added a RevXtreme Catchcan during this installation. I ran my PCV lines according to the second Diagram in the following post...

Should you decide this is the route you want to pursue, you'll definitely want to take a look at both of these links.
