I like it but looks different with the blue intake.

Did you have to buy another gasket after you painted the cover?

What did you torque the cover back on to?

you don't really have to torque it on, the bolts holding it on are not really that tight so when i tightned it back on i didn't tighten them a whole bunch but i made sure they weren't coming back off
