no.. i dont think it does(nwp) .. but im not positive...

search on google through other forums and see what they have to say.. ive read through them b4.. some say it wont do crap and messes up your idle.. others say they got 3-4 more MPG per tank.. which would be a pretty good deal if it were true because it would pay for it self in no time..

one thing i do know.. there are alot of 'haters' for tb spacers .. people that just jump on the bandwagon and say oh no those dont do anything..cause they saw someone else say that before.. reguardless of wether that peson knew from personal experience or not..

i say if you got the 50 bones to blow.. try it out.. and report back in here..

its just that i really dont trust something for that cheap to do that much, if you have the money though it would be worth trying out to see if it adds anything

What could that piece possibly do? How would you measure its potential? The gains would be minimal.
