Are throttle body spacers good mods? They claim 20 hp and 25 ft/lbs torque gain. can anyone verify this? if not that much more power is it still worth buying?

 

It is proven that they don't do jack for our cars, maybe adds some noise. Some dude tested it on a dyno and at first it tricked the ecu to thinking it was getting more air and showed small gains but after a few more runs and tests the dyno said he didn't gain anything. Pointless mod.

 

thanks saved me $63

 

No way a tbs is going to give you 20HP.

 

20/25 gains? Holy exaggeration batman!

 

They all make ridiculous claims about throttle body spacers... my friend swears that his TL is getting an extra 40hp due to a Throttle body spacer.

 

LOL tell your friend to quit smoking whatever he is smoking.

 

Who claims this? LOL

Are they talking about a plenum spacer. Those claims are about 10-13 depending on model.

 

OBX throttle body spacer.

 

Anyone that says the TBS gives you more HP is pulling your leg! (Nicely put)
The one thing it does is makes the lower RPMs smoother with a AT, like
from idle to 3000. I've had mine on for almost a year, HP gains....NOT!

 

it makes some intakes not fit correctly lol

 

Would that be the same as the plenium body spacer?

 

i have an obx tbs. at first i thought it made a small difference for the first day but then the computer corrects itself and all i did was make it intake alittle bite deeper, thats with a stillen intake. i say save your money toward a pl. spacer
