    Shut up noob. Not only is it a useless mod, it's also a unnecessary danger since it blocks the coolant flow to the TB.

    Which he got help with. However he also brought up the subject of the TB spacer in general, and should be made aware of how useless it is and the fact that it has also caused problems on multiple reputable people's vehicles during the winter time who live in an area that gets cold enough for temperature to effect it.

    I live in CT. TB was blocked off from coolant long before going N* and the N* doesn't have coolant in it either. Dunno who has had issues. I've never even heard of Canadians with problems after blocking.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
