Where did you get it? Can you post a picture? I tried a helix power tower on my 2.7L Tacoma and didn't feel any difference. Although, different engines have different results I'm sure.

Definitely need pics to make an offer. You should post pictures of both the spacer mounted on the car and just the spacer alone. How thick are they? Do you include longer studs/bolts for mounting the spacer? How about gaskets?

I'd want to see a dyno of it... I've seen countless dyno sheets on multiple forums proving thier worthless.

Me too.And if it's ok, I will probably buy one!

From what I have read over on the Scion Life forums, many have tried them with no gains at all. Weird.

Who bought one? I'm kind of skeptical of these things and I still want to see a picture. I think these worked really well on carburated engines and even throttle body injected engines, but I don't know about newer engines with direct injection. If it is shown to work, however, I'll buy one.

I ran them on SB Chevys with full mods and they did make gains on the dyno. But, these gains where at upper RPM's when super was less then a $1.00 per gallon. I ran a nasty 450 HP (rear wheel) SB that would hurt your phecking eyes with full throttle up-shifts. Those days are long gone.

I will have a second opinion for you guys on just the spacer but it may be kinda late for the thread because I want have my Yaris for another two-three weeks because I ordered it. But I can't see it making any gains. People I know with the XA and XB saw no difference and that is the same motor. Also you need to show dyno with and without that part so people can see the gains if they exist. You will not sell enough to be worth your trouble without dyno results of the part alone.

it worked on carb engines because it gave the fuel and air more time to mix properly, everyone i have ever heard who used one on a efi enine never had gains from one. Though i have heard of guys who buy them and tap them out to put nitrous nozzles in or a alky injection kit for turbos.
