I've removed all screws, but it seems like it's getting stuck in the upper right-hand corner towards the front of the car. It just won't lift off the engine. Please help!

It's getting stuck right about here:

you just have to work it off...

you also need to make sure the seal is broken loose between the upper and lower mani.

I can't see your pics, but when I replaced my intake gasket I had to remove the whole intake, not just the plenum. Hope that helps you out

Yeah, it took a while, but I finally got it off. I had to remove both parts of the mani. Thanks for the advice dudes.

Are you taking off the runners and the bottom part of the manifold?

It's a pain in the *** if you don't.

Make sure you put it on as one unit too or you could have a boost leak there.

*edit: Oh I guess you already got it off. Well make sure you put it on as one piece like I said, save you some head ache*
