Questions about throttle body spacer/ throttle body wire

Does having a throttle body spacer make a good performance boost? Or a noticeable one?

Do you have to have any other upgraded parts to put this in for it to work better?

And for the throttle body wires, I seen them in blue, where can I get those and how much do they run, and are they hard to install?


I'm new and starting to upgrade my car sorry for all these questions

Performance boost on the D17? No.

they have been shown many times to add zero measurable hp increase. if they even do anything to the air, it wont matter since the air still has to go thru the manifold and into the head. by that time any possible effect the spacer had would be negated.

No it doesn't add any gains but a buddy of mine put in an obx throttle body spacer in his and it makes a super charger sound starting at 2000 rpms
