Helix Power Tower Throtlle body Sapcer

Any one think of or has bought a throttle body spacer for our cars? I came across one that was actually for our cars and decided to go for it, I figured for under 100 dollars, I would try it out.

just waiting for it to come in

Post pics & a review once it comes in and gets installed.

I'm sure we'd all like to hear about it.

aside from using one for a easy entry point for NOS dispensers or something i cant see why this would make any measurable difference in power or MPG. otherwise Toyota would probably already use them considering the next to nothing cost to make them in mass quantities.

if anything you might notice more lag in throttle response depending how tall the spacer is due to having a higher volume to fill from source to atmosphere. vacuum would take longer to occur.

as soon as it arrives should be the time you ship it back for a full refund.

I tried one out when my X-Runner was alive. Total waste of time, JUNK. Monitored before and after performance, and MPG with scangauge 2 and real time software. Didn't do anything and the X is a bit more performance oriented then the Corolla so i'm betting its actually a negative effect on our cars.
