Title: USRT Spacer
Post by: dokez on April 13, 2013, 09:19:39 am
I read somewhere that you have to remove the intake manifold to fit the spacer kit.

Can anyone confirm ?

The one I do.  Fits really well.  Spacer screws to the inlet then the tb to the spacer.

Two things really.  Allows a larger throttle body to be fitted and it has a port to inject water meth.

This on Jussas? How much are they?  May or may not need one for a recent mod I may or may not have aquired  :innocent:

I just spent £100 for the spacer from USRT but Alex may have it cheaper.
