im not sure why, but it looks like your brand new MAP isnt working. try using the stock one (just have a friend hold it in place and start the car, then see if you still have the same issues). If the problem persists, let me know and ill try and think of other possibilities

I was told, that I have a boost leak somewhere. Around the map sensor, intake mani-head, or sc-intake mani. I would've looked for it today but it being mothers day I had no chance to look at it. Hopefully I'll look at it on wednesday night.

if the tb were to sit opposite the way it is now, the ac lines would hit and it won't mount up. I'm gonna check everything(hole on top of sc, map sensor, and other possible areas) hopefully on wednesday night.

looks like its on upside down and backwards to me. It will definitely fit when oriented correctly...it has on everyone else's car...lol

The TB has a gasket in place, correct? the little rubber one? Same for the m62?

The throttle body is definitely on backwards! The plug should be at the bottom facing the back of the car. It will fit.

i honestly cant even figure out how you'd mount it backwards. upsidedown i dont think would make a difference, but you never know. it doesnt hurt to just do it right anyway..lol
again, while the TB is off, make sure the robber gasket is in place

ok..... so..... I come to the idea... that some where I pissed off the car gods..... I don't know how but I did....

Anyways this is whats going on..... The intake manifold gasket I ordered on wednesday, won't be here for a while. Its on back order, called dealership this morning and he said its on back order and will probably take a while to get in.
