sounds like the vacum line popped off under the throttle body, which could also possibly be giving you the leak.. Check it

I grabbed a stainless Vibrant 90 degree anti-fouler piece and had my neighbor weld it on for me. It works flawlessly. $20 at extremepsi. I can have it welded for you free if you need to. Let me know.

my X is my most favorite car i've owned so far. i am no authority on comparing with previous models because i've never driven them. you do feel the extra weight but it is tight and solid and it stops like it is light. a tune is really all you need. unless you really want to make some serious numbers. i daily drive mine and run a cobb stage 1 map and that is all i really need at this point.

Your race on your snows? Doesn't it just plow like a dumptruck?

I'm on my 99k mile bone stock suspension still, its not bad if you air them up so they don't rollover on you.
