I have removed my Radix on my truck to replace a broken intake bolt. When on my bench top I had to removed the J-Tube in order to replace all the bolts. What I noticed is that I only removed (5) bolts where as the J-tube has (6) bolt holes. Would someone be willing to take a picture or explain to me how the bolt nearest to the intercooler inlet on the passenger side is mounted? The M8 x 25mm bolt will not go in due to the radius of the tube but I was wondering if a stud and nut is how it is attached. I have been fighting idling issues ever since the install and I can see how air would have leaked in through this void since it has never been secured.

seems to me when i removed my 78mm j-tube there was a hole not being used near the bend, and with the 90mm j-tube it had one less hole then the 78mm

Here is the hole I am speaking of.



The previous owner of the supercharger made a plate and had it heli-arced onto the original J-tube. (the picture attached is not of mine)

Don't bother trying to put a bolt there. Clean both surfaces really well, and get a tube of anaerobic sealer. The 90mm J-tubes only have 4 bolt holes, 2 on top, and 2 on bottom. Only pic I have doesn't show all of that flange, but you get the idea.
