Magnus Heat Barrier Gasket

[xjokux]

Has anyone or is using one of these?

I currently have one installed but I'm having alot of vacuum leak from somewhere. I've taken it off and reused it again to make sure bolts or anything is preventing a seal.

I've read on dsmtuner that it works on a few threads about it, though I think I beg the differ - till I get an oem gasket and see has I go with it.

It does reduce the heat but leaks Im uncertain.

Some reviews would be nice.

I used a gizzmo one on my evo and have another to go on

I also have a nylon one on my starlet, both with no issue at all

what material is it made from? nylon or phenolic?

Looks like nylon on mine. I have no leak issue with mine either Jono. ( I have the Magnus one )

I was gonna say phenolic tim lol

Atm I can't get the car to idle period without tighten the throttle cable or adjusting the idle screw further - open butterfly throttle.

Biss screw is all the way out and still stalls so I have something seriously wrong with vacuum.

Cleaned throttle body, Ic pipes are seal, biss screw o-ring changed, last but least was the gasket. Doesnt take much to change it so I'll know if I did swap, it's that or something else.

Thoughts?

get someone to keep the car running for you and get a length of hose and run over all of the joins, manifold etc.. holding
the hose up to your ear, you should hear in the hose if there is a leak
