SSV gasket ... would that be gasket at the center 2 ports on the UIM (big oval gaskets)? If so, i suppose it is possible since I have removed my UIM twice before. But, I have sprayed that area quite liberally with MAF cleaner to no change in the trims.

Yup, filter cleaned w/ the K&N cleaner (dryflow) a week ago. MAF is brand new (just replaced it with a brand new one, Delphi, to diagnose). Intake piping is as straight as can be. Worm gears nice and tight. Honeycomb straightener.

oh also, this is going to sound real freaking dumb... but i was doing the hilbilly smoke test with a cigar to see if i can pinpoint a leak ... shitty cigar so it didn't smoke too well. Anyway, I used the brake booster line to puff smoke....
Blowing into the booster line I could hear a hissing coming from around the TB area. Now ... this could be completely normal, but just curious if someone is bored and wants to go test that out for me and try the same and let me know if they hear hissing.
My assumption was just the air bouncing around the UIM
edit.... spraying around the tb did nothing, so that is why i lean towards "normal"

Hmmmmm. Yeah well the TB is not air tight so that makes sense, you need to cap the TB and then try blowing smoke into it or making a leak tester like this:
RX-8 Hymee Supercharger Install - Smoke Tester

Yea i wanted to make sure there were no leaks around the TB gasket too, but I did block off the first intake pipe to the TB so that smoke didn't escape there.

Random food for thought from a thread that OD had:
"1- on the S2 model the ssv is activated whenever the secondary fuel injectors are activated, they are not rpm/load activated like the S1."

hmmm hissing noise around the throttle, I know on the S1 there is a nipple for Vfad kinda under and back behind the throttle body on the UIM.

K so suggestions on where to look while I am in there?
= Vac lines on intake (checked already, will check again)
= Check valve on UIM (already checked that, will check again)
= UIM Intake ports (large circle in the middle, 2 ovals at the top to the SSV)
= Solenoid behind the alternator that connects to the UIM (OEM catch can solenoid i think?
