Default Inlet spacer 10-14mm??

Hello,

So I am goin to fit a spacer to the 4x4 saph but do I need a 10 or 14 mm one for the fuel rail to sit on the other side?

I have been reading and some say 10 mm but then others said 14 mm.

I know they don't do alot till you have about 400-450 bhp but it can't hurt just fitting one.


Cheers Eigdoog.

meassure the thickness of the fuel rail mounting points on the plenum. To fit the rail on the other side of it, the spacer will need to be the same thickness.

Should be 14mm, thats what our spacers are.

I'll have a measure when I get home then.

How much are the ones you sell? Also what's postage? As I need a 3 bar map so just thinking for cheaper postage.

How do you mod them? I've heard of it but don't think I have ever seen it.

Just remove the old and weld on new?

Does that 14mm include the thickness of BOTH the mount on the inlet AND the thickness of the fuel rail fitting ?
As the offset of moving to the other side of the mount is the sum of both.
