i think bang for the buck this is a good one. even at 3-4hp its still under a hundred bucks so it doesnt even come close to breaking the bank u know?

as for mileage, it will eventually help. i say eventually becaue anything that opens up the breathing tends to help the car move with less effort but its so cool that you tent to floor it alot more often. so eventually the novelty will wear off and you start driving like normal again.

thats kinda how im looking at it. it might not be much hp at all, but its a small simple mod that wont hurt the wallet. and personally i dont think its so cool that it will make me drive faster... only at the track really

i saw some generic ones on ebay and tehy were for the f20 only. is there a difference between the f20 and f200 manifold and TB? and i mean non DBW cars. if not then all spacers should fit each motor.

where can a TB spacer be bought? And can I use any type of TB spacer? Or does it matter how wide/thick it is? I mean, a spacer is a spacer right? I might do this and I plan to get tuned by Church soon with my VAFC2!

i found them on ebay. you can search for a store on froogle.com or on yahoo like i did. find them all for between $90-$110. from what ive read, you need one to fit your cars engine. i dont know about size. ive only found one so... what engine do you have?

lol so all this hype about a spacer that swirls the air why not just buy the "tornado"......looks like it would do the same to me just 5 times cheaper....

also, the pic shows up top there is a swirl design, but some TB spacers dont have that swirl design. So which one is best? Or does it matter?
