Intake Spacers; Thickness/Applications
After getting sick of having no money, I've decided to finally "invest" some, and start making heat-isolating intake spacers, as I said I would have for close to 2 months now.
My questions are as follows...
Would there be enough insulating effect to warrant using 3/8-inch material, as opposed to 1/4-inch material, if the cost would be substancially different (about $30 each)?
Also, with a large hardness rating, which will more likely than not require the use of 2 gaskets; would there be any problems/benefits with using these in a turbo application? I'm more worried about boost leak than anything else (when it comes to FI).
Any input would be appreciated, as I will likely start production within 2 weeks. ~Colby
