ill put it in this section as its a bit of a novice question i suppose.

basically i brought a carb spacer with vac takeoff for my DV, but have since realised that it wont work with the standard thick spacer, but its too thin without. my question is, if i have a genuine turbo carb do i actually need this spacer with vac takeoff anyway?

please enlighten me.

thanks.

I use the spacer with vac take off without the standard spacer with no probs, what problem do you have? Clearance issues?

yes the thread on the studs hitting the carb so it can tighten properly. its half the size of the original tho. maybe its a different one than you sell. im wondering whether i actually need it, if so i will just remove the takeoff from the new one and tap it into the original.

Some metro turbo manifolds use shorter studs. I had to swap them on the van's manifold.

You can do without it or tap the existing one as you say but you'll need somewhere for the dumpvalve to connect to (eg. inlet manifold)
