Intake Gasket Help!!!
I FOUND OUT MY INTAKE GASKET WAS LEAKING AND SINCE I'M NEW TO TPI, IS THERE ANYBODY THAT CAN POINT ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION OR TELL ME STEP BY STEP ON THE EASIEST AND BEST WAY TO CHANGE IT? CAN I TAKE THE INTAKE OFF WITH THE TPI STILL MOUNTED? PLEASE GUIDE ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. THANK-YOU!

no.. you will have to take off top intake, runner tubes, fuel lines.
do a search on R&R on TPI intake. if that dose not work for you shoot me a PM, and i'll get you so "step by step."

Start from the throttle body and work your way down. It's alot easier to remove the little parts like sensors and coolant lines with taking it apart than to try and get your hands around corners and remove the whole thing at once. I just did it for the first time yesterday and if you start from the TB and work your way down to the intake its alot easier.
You might as well replace all the gaskets from the intake up while your at it.
I was scared as hell when I desided to paint and restore my whole TPI system last week but after you get over the jitters of messin something up its actuallly really easy. Just keep in mind that if you put the bolt back were you got it from and take your time its gonna come out just as good as if you had paid someone to do it for you.
Good Luck
