Got my TB Spacer today and went to install it, but it doesn't fit. After checking some pictures and part numbers, it appears that the spacer is for 99+ ONLY. It comes with a new gasket, but the part number is for 99+. I've talked with ZZPerformance, but am waiting to hear back from them. It looks like they designed it on a 99+, but didn't realize that we got a new TB in 99.

How much would you want to part with it if ZZPerformance won't take it back? :DTom<br />Too many mods for this sig.<br /><a href=\"http://www.l337server.com/Tom/cars.html\" target=\"_blank\">My car\'s site</a><br /><br /><a href=\"http://www.FullThrottleV6.com\" target=\"_blank\">www.FullThrottleV6.com</a> -

Actually, a different gasket is used from 95-98.Originally posted by Dojo2000:
