    Throttle body question...

    While running a new line for a boost gauge, i noticed something a little concerning. I took off the top plastic cover, over the throttle body, and found a port that had no hose. I have never noticed it before, so don't know if it ever had anything. Any ideas?

    That is where the PCV hooks up. You need to put a cap on it to seal it, vacuum/boost leak.

    One more thing completely unrelated. I have been told by many people I have a magnacharger, but ever one I see is top mount. I have a side mount. Are they all correct? or do I have something else?

    No..it looks nothing like that pic. It is in the same spot, but looks like a turbo. Someone told me it was a factory supercharger, but I was unaware of a factory charged truck. Any thoughts? I will get pics tomorrow...

    Not the PCV hook up but the breather for the RH valve cover (PCV is on the LH side).
