thanks for the help on MD SPACER, have 2 more questions, which one do I get the BASIC or the COOPER ISO THERMAL, whats the diff? and lastly, I CANNOT install this period, does anyone know any shops in westside LA that can handle and HOW MUCH does this job cost? range?

Go with ISO Thermal (No copper). I assume you are in Cali (based on your location in the top right corner. If thats the case doesn't get cold enough to justify the copper piece that goes on the throttle body.

If it makes you feel safer, hit up Hydrazine (Tony) here on the boards and he should confirm

Hope that helps!!!

If the temp doesn't get below freezing often or ever, you can just get the coolant bypass instead of the copper spacer.

Install should not exceed 1.5-2hr. I don't even think it took me that long at home.
