is there tracking #'s on these? I still havent received mine.
Russ - Canadian orders didn't get tracking #'s unfortunately. It's a sit and wait situation.
I still don't have mine yet either but I assume it'll show up this week.

Im sure it will be hear soon, Im just waiting on it so i can see if my POS will start, and find out whether or not my last 4 months of work is worth it, lol.
Mine showed up yesterday in Toronto, so you should have yours any day now Russ.
Mark - I have a question... why did you switch to a cork gasket? Your website showed a metal one, so that's kind of what i was expecting....

I have never included a metal gasket. The other gasket that I used was a thin paper gasket. After a few request and some decision making we went with cork because it have more forgiveness with an older motor. being that if the head is slightly warped or the manifold is tweaked the gasket will still seal.

Shouldn't there also be one for the bypass valve too? It seems like the cork raises it so much that the bypass wont seal properly.

Ah! Well for my application that's perfectly fine - should i use any kind of RTV or gasket sealer with it at all? I've never dealt with a cork gasket...
Thanks again for a great product Mark.

No a thin layer of RTV on the bypass will work perfect.

got it yesterday, looks good. Thanks Mark.
Hey Mark...
After looking at the bottom of the blower to the spacer. Your design doesn't make alot of sense. Why do just the outside perimeter of the blower when there is another contact/sealing point?
who cares about that other surface? it's not blocking flow to anything that shouldn't get it, and there is no boost leaking doing just the perimeter.
Its not blocking flow but makes it harder to seal. You cant say looking at the bottom of the charger and the gasket that your first idea is to just do the perimeter.......
when you look at the bottom of the charger, then the mating surface on the manifold, it is clear that as long as you have a good seal on the perimeter, you will be all set. it would likely be more difficult and expensive to produce a spacer that has that extra junk in it. there is only one wall to seal on 3 sides, why would one side need 2 places to seal up.
It actually wouldnt be any more material or extra cuts. Instead of just doing the perimeter on the bypass side leave that whole section in. There is no need for it to be cut out.
It may be not needed but its a design that could be fixed and wouldnt cost anything other then changing the cnc program. That way anyone could just use 2 stock gaskets and bobs your uncle. Its not a design fail but why not improve something if you can?
This is a very very crude paint of what im talking about
Doesn't seem like a big deal to me. I wonder if someone from Eaton would have something to say about why those other 2 crevices are there and if it would affect anything to block them off. Or, if it affects anything to have it all open like with the OEM setup does.

guys look at where the stock blower gasket seals. It seals on the inside flange. IMO that is where the spacer should seal too.

It works as Mark has them now....idk why it bothers you so much.

all i did was ask how people seal that side that has no seal....i just dont like the idea of rtv for a blower seal.
The only thing that needs a little rtv is the spacers between the blower and the spacer. If you want why don't you dip the spacers in plastidip and use it that way?

i am deff not a fan of this, why is it hard to just copy the oe gasket.
instead of this rectangular piece?
im not about to half ass putting this on, when it obviously dosnt fit the manifold correctly!
i am very upset with it, i was looking forward to installing it from hearing all the hype.
