Full Race TB Spacer came today .

I'll put the Full Race TB Spacer / 2  port vacuum point  on this evening as well
Please let us all know if it fits and/or about any adjustments you have to make on the spacer.... TIA
Also, we'd appreciate hearing about anything you notice about your hotpipe fitment when you install ............since the horizontal part of the IC to TB will effectively be longer by the width of the spacer slightly displacing the lower end (that connects to the IC outlet) laterally and forward.  Thanks in advance again.

Decided that I would get this and ordered today..



I hope that fits, not sure that it will, the TB is very close to the valve cover.
If it does fit let me know I'll add it to the store as I'm a Full-Race dealer :)

NO GO   ! Bolt hole spacing off just  a hair   ..

looking for a different option ... we know that the Steeda one fits    . I think I'll get one and drill and tap it for the fittings.

Maybe Full Race can get you one with corrected thread spacing?

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Hope to get these for the  HotPipe kit

These are Proflow 150 silicon hose clamps
The clamps I have found are only available in Australia and are made there.
This website sells these and ships to the US and they take PayPal.


I'll be ordering these hopefully , if 4DR says they will fit ....

The sizes and numbers are shown in the image within this post for you. Here's Mike's post on how he orders them: http://www.ecoboostperformanceforum.com/index.php?topic=2248.msg33401#msg33401

The ones you found are pretty but...
Personally I love the stainless clamps that Mike includes with the kit now beyond appearance as they are better made for hose clamps. The hinges and lack of full circumferential contact from the start of tightening on the ones pictured in red are an engineering weakness as are the oval cutouts.... just take them and paint them red or blue, etc. if you want.... or get custom made for your preferences if you want them.... or have a different scheme.

Solid performance and a balance between cost effectiveness and appearance were clearly the goals the goals of the hotpipe kit. The explanation of engineering weakness is related to the application, not the clamp inherently. My concern is a hose clamp that doesn't completely and "equally" compress the entire circumference of a connection of a hose between two hard surfaces especially considering the large anterior and posterior motion of our engines. The hump hoses are designed to compensate for this and so will be stressed every time we accelerate and then let off throttle. By completely encompassing and contacting the circumference of the hose and pipe from the start of tightening (as the current clamps do) the pressure is about equal on the entire circumference of the hose and pipe. The amount of force that can be applied to the entire circumference is also limited in the ones pictured in red for the reasons above and will be unequal or even zero at the open screw tightener side.... i.e.. When the ends of the clamp don't come together and so pinch the hose on the screw side as they are approximated, a whole new set of seal and hose weakness problems arise. The object of the kit is no boost leaks (including hose failure) and the clamps 4DR chose avoid these problems... real or hypothetical. Just my 2 cents.  :beer2:  So keep on modding!

You guys are welcome to customize your kits however you want but I can't increase the price of the kit any more, it's already expensive in my opinion. the clamps I include work very well and are cost effective, great combination. :)
