I just got finished putting on the P2R spacer only to realize that I left the $%!*ing old gasket on there. Is this going to be a problem? Can I leave it on or should I take it off?
THANKS

I doubt it will make a difference since it is essentially spacing it out even more, but I would take it out for peace of mind.. i hate doing things twice dont you? lol

YES I hate doing things twice especially since it could have been avoided. Thanks for the input guys.

sorry to thread jack, what does this tb spacer actually do for our cars? can a 3g tl p2r tb spacer fit my 07 tl-s?

see makers or sellers threads for that info- spacers reduce heat transfer at critical point in air to engine

any old gasket material is asking for a leak-
vac leaks are really bad as they can burn valves and other parts,,general bad running

take it apart and do it right this time= never have to worry

I like a product called gasket cinch for installing stuff- gets tacky but never dries so easy to remove parts later--extra sealing power for when in doubt.
can be used as bolt thread goop to help hold them without going to threadlock
