LS6 Rear Vacuum Leak I just installed an ls6 intake that I haven't used before an heard a leak from the back where it's so fun to work on. Pressure tested the intake with an evap smoke tester and it's coming from the MAP/booster housing where it meets the manifold itself.
I'm questioning if that rear portion is removable with an O-ring or if it's a press fit and got damaged while shipping? If it's not supposed to be removable I'm just going to rtv the thing for now so I can get it dynoed and deal with taking it off later.

I think I got lucky when I pulled mine off to get better access to cleaning all of the crap out of it. I used two big flat head screw drivers lol. Just to be safe I sealed it up and used zipties to hold down the mapp sensor because it felt kind of loose by itself.
