Throttle body spacer
I did a throttle body with my truck, it works and looks good. Try the Tornado Air Channeling device, slides right in the intake tube. This gives a whirling wind effect throughout the engine. I used this too, sounds good and actually felt a different response throughout the pwerband. Nothing intense but money well spent and gas mileage was way better. Far cheaper!!!
1) I think velocity stacks are only good for carb'd cars. I could be wrong.
2) Don't buy the Tornado unless you like plugging up the intake tube with something. That thing is PURE and UTTER BS. Think about it...how CAN it work? Not attacking disco, just attacking the Tornado.

No atacks, no problem, the whirlwind effect from incoming air due to the spiral effect of the insert. It actaully does not rattle you have to litterally push it in. This helps air channel thru the engine faster to the exit. That is all. I have a Injen SR that is all you need on this 4 banger.

It may feel different, but its not doing any good...

yes velocity stacks are for carbs, and the Tornado gives almost as much horsepower as a ScionLife sticker!

wrong type of fuel injection to benefit from a "spacer"
usually reserved for TBI engines
making your intake longer on this vehicle will totally "untune" the enigne and probably be less driveable
Toyota engineers should not be underestimated

making your intake longer or shorter will have no effect on "tuning" that is taken care of inside the manifold with the plenum and runners piping air to the manifold will do nothing. long intakes are for getting air from a cooler spot hence cold air intake. the tornado may be a peice...but the idea is sound when you spin the intake like a vorticee the presser goes down higher pressure out side the intake moves to lower pressure inside the intake causing a denser charge of air with a higher velocity. more air more power.
