Is it possible to combine OBX Throttle Spacer & OBX Throttle Body? The OBX Throttle Body is 50MM in diameter, will it be compatible to the spacer?

So which means, they compliment each other. So putting this spacer will give extra better results.

The funny thing is I could not find any of the OBX ULTRA-FLOW THROTTLE SPACERS for scion XA/XB in the official Website of OBX.
Is this stuff legit especially it's being sold on ebay rampantly.

What's the bore size for the spacer BTW?

I checked on ebay, stating tat this spacer is 45mm. Which means it shud not be compatible with the OBX throttle body which is 50MM. Is this true of it's size?

sounds like a good increase..

I just thought of something.. does the OBX TB spacer match up to this bore.. I have the TB spacer on now..

Hehe I am prob. more speaking out of frustration more than good logic. I just wish there were fewer teas products for the xA and more real products being made that are completed.....

I have a few of the throttle bodies preordered for customers and I have told my OBX rep that I want 15 as soon as they are available. I was told they were going to be available mid February and now we are looking at early to mid April according to OBX. The people that have purchased them, know they can have their money back at any time, so its not an issue. I will keep you guys informed as to whats going on as much as I can

As for the TB and the spacer matching up, Im told the bore on both of them match, so you can use them together.
