Whistling noise from engine
I just put in the P2R Intake Manifold spacer after several months....
However while putting it on I accidently snapped off the bolt for the Intake Manifold Cover.
Now that makes two snapped bolts in total on that cover.
After the install was finished I took it out for a drive. After filling up some gas I realized that there was a strange whistling sound coming from the engine.
When I'm under throttle the sound goes away... but once I let off the throttle or when I am idling the sound comes back.
Any ideas?

Yeah... I turned on the TL and let it idle.
The most recent bolt I snapped is now creating a type of vacuum where the bolt used to be [the stud of the bolt is still there].
The other bolt is more of a pain to fix though.. but has not caused any issues.
