Question I smell gas....

I did the whole vac-hose change out thing, but now I smell gas at WOT. I also hear a wooshing sound after about 10 psi. I have checked all my hoses for tiny cracks and I even replaced the couplers. It always made a whirring noise before, but then again, it wasn't working right before either. The turbos are working well.

I did not change out the metal gasket between the manifold and the block. I also did not change the thin little rubber gasket between the manifold and the extension manifold. I didn't touch the injectors. This is purely a new problem after messing with the manifold.

Is my problem just that I need new gaskets?

Thanks all...

You may just need new gaskets. Also, check out this thread:
