does a throttle body spacer actually do any good on a diesel or is it just a whistle

You have no throttle body to put a spacer on.

i'm saying that i do but its similar to what it it is on a gas vehicle. all im asking is what can this intake spacer actually improve.

ur saying u do ?????? what does that mean , that u have a tb.
No tb in our diesel, its just a charge pipe, a spacer would only make the pipe longer by 1/2" or whatever lengh the spacer is. like bigredchevy said. you got nothing there to put one on to.

X2 no place to put one.

you already get a whistle from your turbo

i know i don't have a throttle body but I have seen them. the equivalent for diesels it is a cylinder with like a double helix inside them that goes in line from your aftercooler tube to your manifold. I think airaid sells them. I just want to know if anyone has put them on and if it helps as far as power goes.

All the info I have ever seen on all those gadgets that claim to give you better fuel mileage or horsepower are a scam. The only way it would do you any good is if it helped bring in more air.

thats what i thought. i ordered this boost valve the other day , but it hasn't come yet. all i'm trying to do is little things right now.to get more power and maybe better fuel economy will happen as a side effect. I don't want to get too crazy and have to change major components. Maybe if i win the lottery!!
