You guys know the iso thermal isn't what the op is referring to.

Yup I know but the ISO is better than just regular spacer

The Copper throttle body heater isn't a throttle body spacer. A spacer would be much thicker, something like a half inch or more. What it does is thermally isolate the TB from the upper plenum so the TB can be heated so your butterfly valve doesn't stick/freeze, while keeping your upper plenum cool so your intake temps stay down. It is thicker than the stock gasket, but don't confuse it with a true throttle body spacer.
