don't know ... but you will feel a difference... you'll probably notice the difference the most, by the time youve had it for a bit and you take it off.

thought you did your research bro, not like us other guys?

anyway, you will not see or probably feel any gain from a throttle body spacer, if anything 1-2hp and thats a stretch...however if you switch to the rbc or rrc, the karcepts adapter basically acts as a spacer

from an owner of the rbc and the adapter I know that you will wanna throw that spacer back in. so you will put it in the very next day. maybe these noobs haven't had a first hand experience...

you realize the only reason you need that spacer with an rbc is so you can bolt a regular throttle body to it? right?

because me and nahonda04 dont know what we're talking about right?

obviously you didn't know you can bolt on the adapter and then the spacer after. you just gotta get longer bolts. easy fix. please, explore your ep3 more or never own one

we know, we just also know that's its a waste of money and if you do so much research you would know this too...but what do i know, you do realize that throttle body spacers were originally designed for cars that have carburetors and they do benefit those cars...

you guys should probably have me removed as a mod idk what im doing...

they must not know either

From my experience, just engine noise. Oh and .. it might just be me but, I think my MPG went up a little bit. When I fill up, that bitch stays at the "F" line for days.
