EuroElites | VRP Phenolic Spacers
Hello guys,
Here's the picture of VRP latest product which is now available
EuroElites price: $289 including freight
The kit includes a pair of phenolic spacers, 4 gaskets, 10 ARP bolts, 10 washers
Payment can be made via paypal. (admin@euroelitesonline.com)
**Please mention VRP phenolic spacers, your shipping address, and phone number when completing the paypal transaction.**
**Please do remember that the supercharger has to be removed for installation of the VRP phenolic spacers. (good time for this is the installation of heads or throttlebody)**

Got to ask (even though they will not fit my car) how do these compare to the Evo offering? Besides the ARP bolts what is the difference?
Not supporting or bashing one product or the other (I have no vested interested in either one) just curious about the offerings.

I asked for the best, so I am assuming it is.. I passed along this question to the manufacturer.. I'll wait for him to reply and let you know..
No sweat.. They are actually NOT competing products.. Evosport's phenolic spacers are a GREAT product and I recommend them to everyone I talk to (alot of people here will tell you that).
Both of these products (mine & Evosports) tackle 2 different problems. Evosport's kit is engineered to be quickly installed so that everyone who owns a car can purchase them and install them without too much hassle (30min - 1hr). They DO WORK and make a big difference in temp of the surge tanks.. That's why I had them in my car.
I created mine because if the motor is going to be taken apart such as when doing a TB upgrade, the best way to tackle the heat transfer problem is at intake ports to the heads. This separates the bottom half of the engine from the top half.
I explained a bit of this in these 2 posts:

You also have to remember that when Evosport created their product, not alot of people were sporting 80mm TB upgrades so there wasn't too big of a market of people who were going to pull half their motor apart to install something as simple as phenolic spacers.
Hope this helps!

Evosports kit wouldn't fit your car because your car doesn't have surge tanks to install them under.

The air cleaners may be tilted because the mount on the valve covers as well, but you could space them up to fix as needed.
