tb spacer install?

[ExporeRanger]

i know that a tb spacer should come with some whine..but im gettin a very noticeable and annoying whistle/whine..obviously coming from the tb.. i installed a motorvation tb spacer which supplied me with one gasket..and when i disconnected the tb from the intake manifold..i was surprised to find no gasket..so i installed the gasket between the tb spacer and the intake manifold, then the tb directly to the spacer..no im left with an annoying whine..what should i do? the directions were unclear as to wear to put the gasket..should i switch it around to inbetween the spacer and the tb? silicone?

thanks for the help

my 05' explorer is completely stock and i have a whistle during "moderate" acceleration ... go figure

it's a whistle not a whine,the gasket is in the right place and it's pretty much a defining sound unles you uninstall.you'll get use to it,anyonee who installs a tb spacer get's the same results.but the gain is worth it in my mind.

ive been looking for a tb spacer for my 2.9 and still avent found one.

is there any noticeable gain from this mod?

 

[fischerry]

all of what 3-5 hp gain.

...this has been discussed OVER AND OVER again....

This mod adds VERY LITTLE volume to the intake, and the gains given by this mod are so small that even a dyno wouldn't be able to pick up the difference.
