I bought the swirl flap plugs from wbp (whitebreadperformance) and i got the intake manifold gaskets with it. Well it appears theres the two sets of 6 gaskets and the one big one for the throttle valve and lastly there should be 6 for the plugs. Well it appears the plugs came with brown o-rings already installed on them and they also included 6 more round black o-rings which, unless im retarded here, are for the plugs. Why is there two sets.. Anyone have a clue? and if they are for the same thing, which one is better? the black ones are definitely a little thicker.

when u say red do you mean the brownish reddish o-ring ones on the swirl flap plugs or the orangish reddish gasket ones that are on the intake manifold runners?

The ones that fit better are superior for sealing, I assume it is the black ones in this case? Yes he is speaking of the brownish ones for the plugs that are made of FKM.
27mm x 3.5mm are the ones you want, they are tight to push in but won't leak.

Ya lol I figured that's what you meant. Yesterday I took the Intake manifold off again ad replaced the brownish ones with the thicker black o rings. Thank you

Your question just saved me a couple hours, I have the kit sitting waiting for some cooler temps for install.

well thats good I can save u some time! I'm currently on day 3 (4? Granted just several hours for the first two days and maybe an hour on the 3rd..) Of trying to remove rhe DPF so pray 🙏 for me that ill get it in the morning. And yes I wish I could wait for cooler temperatures but I kept making progress until I had the two nuts stuck that connect the DPF to the SCR, as well as the top inner 13mm DPF bracket bolt. Anyway im gonna improvise any way I can get this out after that last bolt!
