A throttle body space won't add any power, if anything it will kill power. You want power above 3k RPM, buy a TT.

Don't spend money in a NA !

Buy a tt engine and make it fit... drivetrain fits... all you need is a custom FMIC with the piping that you can do yourself... for that i suggest you change the radiator for the tt aftermarket one cause it's smaller and thicker so you will get enough space arround it to pass the piping... Have fun

You mean a set of OEM SMIC piping and coolers

i figured a throttle body spacer cause its supposed to give better gas mileage and give more mid range power gains.... and i kinda was thinking of supercharging it but im not sure yet but i just cant understand whats the difference between some of the tbs

Supercharging won't give you better gas mileage... just an FYI.
