I ordered the outlaw engineering set. Comes with intake manifold spacer, throttle body spacer, longer bolts for both TB and IM, and all needed gaskets for $113 shipped.

I didn't really notice much difference in performance - but at $4.30/gallon, I really never punch the throttle anymore. I think based on the graphs on their website, you lose a very little in low end performance and you get significant boost in the 2500-4500 RPM range? Dunno. I bought it cause I figured I was cleaning my EGR port - didn't really care for any performance upgrades.

The Outlaw setup is just a thick gasket. P2R makes TB spacers and thermal gaskets.

That link to the P2R kit only has the throttle body spacer, but there is a link on the same page to a kit with the intake manifold spacer as well. The Outlaw Engineering kit has both spacers plus the coolant by-pass fitting.

Yup. I'm happy w my set of outlaw gaskets. It makes a difference after the engine is hot plus on hot days you car will still be running like a spring morning.

For coolant bypass just remove the in/out line and put them back into the system no need for a kit, maybe some caps for throttle body but you can use the lines on the car for that too

As for p2r only for type s...not true go to there Web site they make them for non s i got one on the bm for 75 with 2 gaskets, and got the other spacer from heel toe 35 shipped
