NX Plate

NX Plate
I just installed a NX plate kit on my 08 Mustang GT. I put it all together, and now I hear a whistle under load under throttle. Sounds like a vacuum leak to me, and I'm figuring that its coming from the plate/throttle body/intake manifold area. Am I supposed to use RTV as well as the supplied gaskets? Am I supposed to leave the orange gasket in the intake?

Just use the 2 supplied paper gaskets and remove the factory throttle body seal
Make sure the screws hoding the NX plate are tight. Mine were loose and leaked fuel
Make sure the plate is flush to the intake. I had to bend a bracket on the intake manifold that was rubbing against the solenoid, keeping the plate from fully sealing to the manifold
Double check your air inlet tube and clamp

I had to modify bracket as well. instructions didnt specify to use factory seal or not. I think they are tight.but factory spec is small and I dont wanna over tighten. Ill pull the seal see what happens. Thanks.
