If anything it will increase the gains you see with a spacer.

I think the spacer itself increases air volume, not sure, us R18ers dont have one so I dont care to read up on it. But I know for a fact you need two gaskets ( or it's recommended).

The gaskets help prevent heat transfer. By removing the routed coolant to the TB, you are eliminating a HUGE source of heat. So doing that will help the gaskets to further prevent any more heat transfering from the enigne > TB > intake.

Colder tube = Colder air = denser air = more HP.
