I apologize for the issue you experienced with your P34 Intake, and wanted to assure you that it is not normal. As with all 034Motorsport products, the P34 is covered under warranty against any manufacturing defects.
Regarding the P34 Intake installation, it is imperative that the supplied rubberized washers are installed under the screws, and that the screws are not over-tightened during installation. 4 Nm is the final torque, which is just under 3 foot-pounds - achieved very gently by hand.
