Default Anybody running Skunk2 spacer and Vortech?

Just wondering if anyone has this setup. I might have a possible boost leak from the spacer, and I want to see if anyone else has had this problem.

Yeah I tightened them down a little bit, but don't want to go over 100in/lbs. Might need to take it off and glob some silicone on both sides of the spacer. I will be getting T-bolt clamps all around on Monday.

I also have a Vortech and I was considering the 5/16" spacer... but my question is... did you see a significative difference with the Votech ?

I believe BeerViper's car saw a 16hp gain on the dyno after the plenum spacer was added on his Vortech.
