How to remove TB spacer, attached with RTV

[04CompG]

I've decided I want to get rid of my TB spacer. Theres just too much hesitation with everyone on if they are worth a **** or not. I put it on myself and used a nice amount of RTV to attached it. I go down to PRJ for a re-tune tomorrow and after that I'm not going to do anything to my car performance wise for a while. Is this going to be a pain in the ass to take off? Any tips?

Thanks.

BFH?

If it's already on, why not just leave it on. I can't see it hurting anything as long as it's not leaking or something.

I think BIO said they cause the rear head to heat up or something. Thats not the sole reason i want to take it off though. ive always been iffy about it.

ive never had any problem with it. the only reason those holes are there are to warm up the tb for a cold start, to make it run better, they are only 1/4 inch holes. i have mine blocked and havent modified the side lim port either.

Chisel. 'Nuff said. That is how I took the TB off of my blower. Just be easy and pry that ****er off

rubber mallet should do the trick...

it wont have much of an effect, but im not one to enjoy knowing that my rear head is running hotter than the front. the coolant going through the blower and throttle body is part of the flow that goes to the rear head.
