Throttle Body Spacer

big_drum · 03-19-2009

I've been seeing alot of throttle body spacers, do these improve performance? and I have custom tunes written, would I have to buy new tunes for that mod? Any help on this will be appreciated.

STAY AWAY!!!! The spacers don't really do much for power, they work fairly well as paper weights though. If you do make the mistake and throw the money down the toliet, it does not require any new tunes.

not worth a dime its a chunk of metal with a hole in it. i just joined a group of guys on here that use there throttle body as a paper weight

well i bought a throttle body spacer for 30 bucks, and i think it was worth it because it sounds like a mini supercharger (REALLY MINI) during WOT in 1st and second gear. and i dont beleive that it does NOTHING. even if it adds .1 HP im happy, but thats just me

hey wait throttle body spacers have a use they make great paper weights to hold down all the recipts from future mods

its true...i made the mistake of buying one

. it might have added 2hp but it sounds like i have the worlds smallest turbo.. which is pretty cool i guess
