FAST 102 install question
Seeking a little wisdom from those whom have installed before me.
I just bought a brand new FAST 102, the directions say to seal the rear corner with RTV.
I'm wondering if that's needed if I don't separate the shells....I can drill out the MAP sensor without taking the manifold apart.
Otherwise, I'm wondering why in the hell I would need to take apart a brand new manifold to seal it?!?!
Anyone shed some light on this one?

Just to follow up....
Per FAST : Seal the manifold with RTV before installation.
Better safe than sorry!

When I received mine and pulled the shell off, I noticed mine
had already been sealed! So I added a little bit of sealer again and no vacuum leaks. I think they have updated their product but not the directions.
