Default Plenum spacers with boost

I am planning on buying a sc, or single turbo system eventually. Would i be better off putting in a plenum spacer, or just saving the money for the turbo system in the long run. Basically what im asking is does the plenum spacer make much difference in a forced induction system?

since I am stuck chaperoning kids in a stupid midnight showing line for hunger games I will save you 2 mins use of the search tool: no power gain but possible equalization of flow with spacer with FI. While your NA you'll get a nice power bump if have a non revup engine. If you have a rev up, get the mrev2.

I don't think the $100 saved in a spacer will put your F/I dream any closer to reality.

Ah, now that's a better question than the thread topic!

It was actually quite decent. They pretty much stuck to the book and shortened a few parts and made very minor mods that would've been difficult to translate to film. I think I would've enjoyed it more if I hadn't worked a 12 hour day already. My kids and their friends loved it.

So I was inspecting my explorer trying to find the source of a clanking sound... turns out the passenger side sway bar end link is straight up MISSING lmao. At least it was an easy diagnostic.

same thing happened to my ranger. End link straight gone. Link is like a 12 inch long 3/8ths rod. I just hope it didn't come out on the highway!
