Poweraid throttle body

SONOMA915 · Post by **SONOMA915** » Sun Feb 19, 2006 9:17 am

Can someone copy and send some instructions for the parts and installation for this throttle body spacer. I bought one on ebay and I think it is missing some parts. All I recieved was the aluminum spacers (2) and the throttle body spacer. Please PM me if you can help me. Thanks.

I can't do a thing with PDF files but here is AIRAID'S installation sheet for the Poweraid CLICK HERE. It has photos and it looks like you got a raw deal.

I only paid $33.00. I saw them listed in Summit for $119. I figure I can find the other bolts and still come out on top. Thanks for the link.

May sound like a stupid question but, What exactly does a throttle body spacer do? What is it?

Adds a splash of color to the engine bay and makes it easier to change thermostats is the only thing that my poweraid did for me but, there's different opinions on them.

I called Poweraid this morning and they are going to send me a hardware kit for FREE!! They are a pretty awesome company. I am getting mine so that it will be easier to change t-stats.

That's cool that they are willing to stand behind their product.

The TB spacer also helps to line up the intake a little better after a bodylift.

I installed one to create turbulence at the EGR tube interface. Hopefully to better help in mixing of the EGR gasses. Kind of like a "Dog whistle" in that respect though. How do you really know it is working?

Changing T-stats will take you 5 minutes "tops" with the TB Spacer. I have had to swap mine several times but, hopefully with my new intake with solve my problem.

I have a buddy that races, he is also sponsered by K&N. He said he could get me a full intake for $185. I may try to get that also, even though I'm pretty sure that they will not work together.

If you have a BL, they will work together. I would think that they will with a goodmark style hood as well. I just know that the FIPK is not recommended with the spacer but, have not read any threads where someone actually tried it w/o a bl and it failed.

I will try it and post my results. I plan on doing a BL, but not until later in the year. I did find a place that will charge me $450 for a BL installed, not sure if I want to attempt this at home.

That's a pretty darn good price. They quoted me around $700 - 800 for just the installation... not including the body lift parts!!! I decided to do it myself, it's not that hard. Just takes time.

Time is something I dont have due to planning a wedding for June. Maybe after everythig settled down I will do it myself. I'll post my conclusions about the intake and spacer.
