Throttle Body Spacer anyone?

Just wondering if anyone has tried a throttle body spacer on these cars to try to gain a couple of ponies. If so what were your results and where can I find one?

Tried searching, but couldn't find anyone specifically saying that had a throttle body spacer.

I have one, don't waste your money unless you are going to upgrade.

Try out the throttle body coolant line bypass.. Just as effective and it's a diy job with parts you can get at the local hardware store. Disconnect the battery for safey.Simply look at the tb , there's 2 lines connecting to it, disconnect them from it and reconnect them to each other with a 5/16 hose barb and ss hose clamps. Done deal.... I have this done to my car and it's not a supercharger but it's well worth the time and money...

It stops the 200+ degree coolant from touching the intake metals and therefore keeps it cooler , but heat soak will come in eventually from the head.That's when you get the intake manifold spacer which I have yet to install. You can get one for cheap in the lancer for sale section. Less than half the price of rpw and much less of a wait .. Puerto Rico is closer than australia...
