hi was wondering what the ecu spacer does for the st how does it do it etc are there any pics of the fitting process

it removes the built in air restriction in the filter housing allowing the car to breathe more freely thus slightly improving throttle response.

The ecu does not just fastern to the air box, it actually goes inside the air box (there is a hole it fits through) this therefore can interfere with the airflow into the engine, the spacer pulls the airfilter out of the airflow thus improving the airflow into the engine etc and reducing the restriction.

It is a good cheap mod.

pm jabbos he sells them £30 that includes postage cost, while you are at it upgrade
your panel air filter to a k&n mate

Its a great little mod, especially if you want the engine bay to look almost bog standard! Its not going to give the performance as a Cais, but for bang for bucks its spot on! When i had my fitted i did notice the difference in the car's throttle response straight away, much improved!

 

[Mickyboy]

Fitted mine today. Have to be honest and say Im disappointed. No throttle response change for me sniff sniff.
