Need Opinion Throttle Body & Ice box +

I have had my TB done by King Motor Sports, I have a Icebox on the way. Is it worth it to go ahead and also add a TB spacer, thermal gaskets and intake manifold thermal gasket while it's all apart?

$315 for both the throttle body and TCS valve. Bought them at a scrap yard and they looked great when I got them back.

This is my take on the thermal gaskets.

If your going to do them you might as well do a EGR bypass. A lot of your heat comes from the exhaust gasses that get rerouted back into the intake manifold.

I'm not saying they won't help, but to get the full effect of reducing the heat you might want to do the EGR bypass.

They can't hurt performance!

Just some food for thought.
