I can see it when I take that pcv cap off on the side of it does that rule out the hose or does it connect somewhere else inside the UIM also I assume the stock pcv cap should work the one that came with it looks different and has a hole in the top so it just Sucks tons of air in and it'* very noticeable you can hear it

You did put the MAP sensor back on right?
If you did you may want to inspect the o ring that goes on it.
The pick-up tube does not connect to anything inside the UIM, so you do not need to worry about that, the only issue I had when I did mine was that it was hard to get the new PCV cap on, this was due to that pickup tube being to far up into the new UIM, I tapped it down a little and was able to get the new PCV cap/map sensor on without a struggle.
Just curious, but did you remove the LIM and replace the nylon 6,6, LIM gaskets that are known to fail?

im glad i did, i saw the upper leak as well but got lowers to be sure and it was worse. make sure you use thread seal on the lowers, and it wouldnt hurt to plug the coolant ports
