Default Running a intake manifold spacer, have a a question...

Hi, I'm gonna be running a intake manifold spacewr on my boosted zc and I was wondering what exactly am I suppost to do for the intake intake manifold gaskets? Do I use two intake manifold gaskets and sandwich the spacer between them in the install or what? I just don't want it to leak while under boost . Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

It's one of those plastic style spacers. Probably about an 1/8th of an inch thick, if that. So sandwich it between to intake manifold gaskets then???

it's pretty well a knock off hondata one but this one blocks the EGR path.

just be sure to check them after you have the car up to running temp. ive noticed these seem to be loose for some reason, so i just double check them when the engine is hot.
