throttle body spacer and bored out throttle body

by **supamouse09** » Wed Aug 01, 2007 4:59 pm

okay so i just ordered my bored out throttle body today and i already have the throttle body spacer installed. when i get my bored out throttle body, do you guys suggest i take off the throttle body spacer? or would the minimal diameter difference between the two not make a big difference? anybody have both installed with any thoughts?

I have both works fine but I have never tried the TB without the spacer give it a shot and see what is better.

Individually for both I say go for it. I am also happy having both installed right now.

Yea I get that whistling sound with both throttlebodys but only if I have the throttle plate just right. I can make it happen fairly easily.

ur cousin probably has a leak somewhere near that spacer.

no there is no leak 98% sure, thats what we thought at first but his spacer also doesnt have the groves on the inside its just a circle.......

I noticed a whistling as soon as my spacer was installed. I like it

. Does sound like a turbo spooling.

I have them well aligned but as I modulate the throttle which translates to the plate in the throttle body and can make it whistle or not whistle.
