Default V4 inlet manifold spacer question/

Hi guys when you buy the 10mm inlet thermal spacers do you have to buy new gaskets as well or does the spacer act as the gasket. Also does this usually give you enough room and make it easier to remove/fit the turbo inlet pipe if needed in the future. Thanks Steve.

Depends on the spacer. Some use rubber O Rings as a gasket. Some require 2 gaskets. One each side of the spacer.

It just gives enough room for an oversized turbo pipe, but really you need to bin all the pipes from the underside of the manifold, which means you need a parallel fuel set up.
