Steve posted an update Sunday on Facebook that the spacer was en route to a test fitter and he was hoping to have results this weekend. Unsure who it ended up going to.

I thought I saw a post on facebook the other day saying their were some minor fitment issues and that they were going to make 3 or 4 more to send out for testing after they made adjustments. Can't seem to find the post now tho.

Spoke with Steve yesterday. He sent the first one to Matt, who made some adjustments and sent it back to him. He has it now, but his town is on a mandatory shelter at home so he can't go to his shop to make the new ones, but said as soon as he can he will get 3 or 4 more sent out to people to get data.

Test article intake spacer #2 for the SHO Ecoboost about to head to the mailbox. Should be heading into production within a couple of weeks for everyone else, just waiting to be sure there are no hidden issues before launch. Thanks for hanging in there, as I expand beyond the world of Subaru.
2013 Lincoln MKS ecoboost, 70,000 miles.  3 bar map 93 tune (E30 in the future) by both AJP Turbo and Ortiz Performance.  PPE catted down pipes, EPP dual CAI (not yet installed so K&N drop in), .026 gapped SP542, 170 degree thermostat, Dynomax axlebacks, and Power Stop Z23 pads and rotors.

Patiently waiting... sent my intake manifold off for port matching today so we'll see how it turns out with this.

Hey Hello everyone-

I am that spacer guy.  I've been trying to keep a low profile up to now until things got rolling, which they now are!

I'm not set up as a vendor here yet, so I'm not going to say too much until that happens, but you can check my profile and links to more info will be there.

Thanks MKS Tom for giving me the nudge to get started on this.

X35 Design thank you for signing up on the forum! I have created you a board in the vendor section to assist! This helps provide a dedicated space for you and the EBPF members find out more about your product, feel free to use it as you need! Its exciting to see new products for platform since it is a very niche group with not a lot of aftermarket support.

Please feel free to ping me if you need anything! And thank you for helping improve the platform!!!

You think you're a Niche group?  This is like mass market compared to my other Subaru SVX stuff lol.

Thanks for the warm welcome!

If anyone's curious for more info, the website or FB page is where I'm putting the updates, I'll put the same stuff in each place so you won't miss anything on either site.

I do hope to get some data from the two beta testers in some form, as I know that's a big question, but they both report reduced IAT due to the insulation of the manifold from the head.  Ford didn't do you much of a favor by running coolant thru the manifold, but to fix that would be a BIG project in form of a new manifold. 

So, anyhow..I'll be around here or in my own vendor subforum to answer questions where I can. 

Thanks everyone!

So I'm particularly interested in how well it insulates the manifold when your sitting in between runs at the track?

At the track I see 150F+ at the manifold after sitting for a minute. It drops with the help of the intercooler from Gearhead but if it didn't start out that high, then even better!

What was it before the spacer?
