Talking Will this work ??

I can see the benefits of a thermoblock spacer or TB spacer to reduce heat soak on the engine. But I was wondering if it would make sense to install this on FI application a turbo or supercharged car.

In theory it seems it will further increase the cool charge of the Intake air, But what i want to know is if it will really work in practical since most applications.. especially turbo apps will already have a intercooler.......

what do u guys think ???? ...........

I don't really see a point on having this with a supercharger since the blower is going to heat up the air anyways

Most of us who are/were boosted at least ran the Intake Manifold Spacer, and with a little effort are able to also use the throttle body spacer.

I think there are gains there, but it is hard to say how much gain each parts provide.
Since Most of the peps that got this also added other P2R mods (p2r intake, spacer plenum) etc............

I don't think it would harm anything, would probably help a bit
