I would have to say that using a spacer should show more benefits anyways then just grinding away material. It's not that close, and by grinding away a ton of material, you're changing the diameter of the ports at that place, which slows down, then speeds up the charge. By using a spacer, and maintaining proper inner diameter, I think (slightly) better results would show. No, I don't have data. Yes, I plan on trying this this summer.

Also does anyone know of a custom spacer/adapter made for 13b-re UIM to bolt to FC LIM?

*Nevermind I guess that is nearly impossible...

I will make them again but I need 10 prepaid units. The first time around I funded the spacers out of my pocket. This time I can't afford to do it. If your seriously intersest and have the money than pm me.
Thanks Robert

I have an s4 LIM.

I take it I have to have an s5 LIM or there is no way I can make this happen?

so I'm guessing with that stellar response it's going to be hard to get 10 people...

here is mine when it was together. I could not tell you if I had any gains since I started with the FD upper. But the car made 320hp/270tq at 6k 14psi. I was never able to get the car fully tuned, but 270 tq I thought was pretty decent. I friend of mine made me the 1 inch spacer,which really wasnt that hard.
