Hey guys im installing a cartech turbo kit and i cant get the F'n intake off. My dumb ass buddy used "the right stuff" gasket maker on it. I took the top long intake bolts off and the 4 around it am i missing any? I cant get this damn thing off and its holding my progress up big time. I've tried prying at it wit a big ass screwdriver,even climbed in and pushed up on it and nothing. It feels like its still has bolts in it. Any suggestions would be awesome at this time

There is one more short bolt (or stud) in the center, below the upper intake. On a stock intake, it was a long bolt.

Edit: On my TFS-R 5.8 intake there is a short one there anyway.

Yeap, the rubber mallet. I had to beat on my upper intake for quite a while to get it off. I guess I went a little crazy with the rtv.
