maybe? you gotta measure it. Look up the measurment specs o the tb spacer, then cut a piece of sponge and tape it on your intake. Put some kind of paint or glue on the top of the sponge and close the hood. If it touches, you know it won't fit.

does the TB spacer do anyhting other than be a b!tch and make hp worse. its still a D17 so w/o a turbo there isnt much hope.

nope doesn't work. our intake mani will cancel any air that gets swirled or whatever it does. Prolly works for old carb engines.

i kinda wanted to try one but my intake would touch the hood and I don't want it getting scraped up.

It will fit with the stock intake. It will also fit with the "Racer Design" intake. I have this setup now. It works better than I expected.

Re: OBX Throttle body spacer and AEM CAI

Its probably not seated right and causing some kind of vacuum leak. Theres no way you can install it wrong, u cant flip it over and mount it. Just make sure bolts are tight and gasket is seated right. If there is no gasket, thats where ur problem is. Only other thing i can think of is your idle air control valve is sticking.
