what is right i was thinking a THROTTLE BODY spacer was pointless in a diesel. i think the gains he felt were all in the head. but i may be wrong. please a guru chime in.

Yeah but they will add 70hp to a Hemi and make them "the fastest truck on the road".......at least my buddy thinks so.

BWA HA HA HA HA.

"You know, I really felt the difference that a 1" spacer with a swirl pattern around the inside diameter made. The air after the spacer doesn't get interfered with by the AIH or the awesome tiny smashed-down intake manifolds....."

More like, "I had to mentally fool myself into thinking that I had more power just to justify the cost of this hype'd up, overpriced item."

Don't waste your time or money....just a warning to those thinking of getting one.

Might as well get a tornado too to swirl the air before the turbo, CAC tubes, intercooler, and this intake spacer.



One thing I did notice in the picture is that I realize now where that goes. I had no idea where the spacer was supposed to be installed when I read the advertisements.

I didn't figure that you were after one. I had an idea that you were better than that!

Where's Gene? I bet his model would be WAY off once he input one of these suckers into the equation!!

I think he'd get more performance by doing the CCV & AIH delete. Did you all notice how oily the tube was?

Izzy,
No dude, that's only BEFORE the turbo inlet. Whatever you do AFTER the inlet is just fine. (sarcasm on) This product might actually INCREASE the CFM flow through the intercooler that is lost due to temperature drop. (sarcasm off)

Yeah, and at the price of ONE spacer, you'd be looking at A LOT of money to do so.
