    After getting rag'd on by the fmic guys about not having an optional thicker intake manifold tgv spacer for them....we decided to make one for all you fmic'rs since it really does make sense to use bigger phenolic spacers if possible.

    These bad boys are 8mm thick which allows the IM/tgv to really get away from that super hot engine head. We'll have to use a bit longer intake manifold bolts for these because they raise the intake mani up far enough to be out of safe reach for the oem bolts.

    of course, some pics..

    So this is why you wanted to know what the long intake manifold bolts were...

    you should do a comparison shot of the new vs. old spacers so we can see the difference.
