A simple search would have solved your question.

In the even that the search still isnt working

Short answer: It wont do anything

Long answer: It wont do anything at all (see its longer )

Often the spacer is put there for heat insulation for the throttle body.  But thats kinda bogus because the air doesnt spend enough time IN the throttlebody to pick up hardly any heat to begin with.

Ive never heard the fake turbo stuff.  Get a CAI, that makes some noise & its not totally useless.  If the TB spacer is whistling, that just means the airflow isnt smooth & clean.

TB spacer is good for wet nitrous injection so you don''t have to drill an OEM engine part or your nice shiny intake.
