For those of you who's been in the game for a long time, this one's for you.
On our factory plastic vacuum blocks on the TB, over time, and with the constant heat & re-tightening of the mounting screws, they start to deform the block causing leaks. Well before that happened I switched to the aluminum version you see around here often. After wanting the stock as possible look I started to look for another plastic factory version. Well I found one, but this one had pastic walls inside, supporting the entire structure, making for a more superior design overall. Well last night I found my old factory model sitting next to my aluminum version, and that black plastic version had the same walls. Well I've been known to buy shit just for "in case I can't find it anymore in the future" and forget I've already had one at the house.
I'm trying to find out if ALL the vac blocks had these little supporting walls, or I happen to buy another of the nicer ones and forgotten, because I sware mine was all hollow, with no internal support. I remember specifically the top of my factory model starting to cave in from the heat. Am I going crazy, or are there two different contractors/designs for this piece.
This is just curiosity and knowing my car.
