lil plastic block some where in or around my manifold and if it rattled it was good if it didnt it was bad...

That would be a PCV valve. The guy has no idea what he is talking about.

What the fuck? Your car "whistled" and some idiot thought it was turbocharged? Jesus Christ..

OMG!!! Auto Part Store Workers FTL!!!

There is such a thing as a vacuum block. They usually have multiple ports and have one line that connects to your intake manifold. This allows for you to have several good vacuum sources.
