tC throttle body spacers
one of my friends got a throttle body spacer to go along with his intake for a 4runner. this gave him significant power gains and throttle response...not to mention gas mileage. has anyone heard of a company that makes one for our car? maybe a camry tbs will work...

I've already made them for the scion. I'm still trying to get a dyno result of the basline before and after, but I will post them as soon as they're ready.
Already checked the fitment quality and everything is looking great. As for gains, I've gotten a really good feeback/response as far as that matters, but I'd rather show proof of it when its ready.
Here's a link to the other ones I've made for my car and the 350Z, if you want to check to quality of my work.
Here's a dyno sheet, with my car running on a dirty maf:
And here's the one I made for the scion, which has not yet been sent out for anodizing.
btw, these will come with all the necessary hardware, 3 bolts and two oring gasket.

If someone OUTSIDE of a sponsored guy... like one of us who has access to a reputable dyno can run this... I'd like to see it... an independant dyno would do well...
I've searched and read and read and anyone who is not selling TBS's says that they do nothing to increase power or economy... Popular Mechanics, the EPA, and many other reputable and solid organizations have tested and confirmed that there are little to no gains...
On a old-school carburated engine, I could see the advantage, as the fuel and air can have a bit more space to atomize, but just spinning air into our intake manifold and up to the injectors, it seems a little neccesary to prove...
I hope one of the guys that ran our independant intake dyno comparisons can pick this up... then we'll know. Until then...
Call me senor skeptical.

AEBS makes an intake manifold for the tC, they just won't sell it. Jotech has it.
