Got a question on installing a Throttle Body Spacer!

Post by xTiaanx »

The engine has two braces that are holding the intake manifold to the engine (besides the 4 bolts that is already holding it. What do I do with these braces?! Are they a must have? Or can I compromise by removing the braces and just driving on the 4 bolts that came with the spacer? Need help ASAP!

I removed the brace when I had my TB spacer installed. Never had an issue.
