http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2001-...Q5fAccessories


The 5.5 gen is listed as one of the applications for it. With claimed power gains, it would seem to be a good bang for the buck.

my .02 says it has something to do with heat dissipation??? meeting the manifold?

Chime in Please.

4-3 hp is a low enough number to be bogus, but enough to make you think you gained something from it. (placebo)

i wouldnt.

well im familiar with the nwp spacer, wish i had the cash when i had manifold off to do plugs 500 miles ago. this is a spacer for the tb.
now in the honda world as i recall (trying to forget my gsr days) tb spacers are a plus and deemed useful.

could it one of those things thats just not too effective on the vq motor?

i have no idea what I am doing on this site. I need help. My car battery light and brake light keep going on, and I just got the battery about 4 months ago. Today it completely died on me, why? So do I need another battery or a new alternator?

How is spacing it with more metal gonna do anything?

There's a reason why Aaron's product works and this **** doesn't. His has 4 spacers and coolant bypass. It also increases the runners' length.

This crap is basically a TB extension that does nothing more than that.


JFC, is this noob above me for real? Yes, it's the alternator (do not go to autozone). That's common knowledge on pretty much any car. Now delete the post. kthxbye
