My bad, I merged two thoughts into one. The spacer helps smooth everything out, but turbulence in certain cases (not in this case) is supposed to increase fuel efficiency since it's somewhat of a restriction.

Anyway, I'd say purchase a new gasket. It's worth it IMHO.

New P2R gasket? I already own two, the ones I have been talking about. Both have the same issue. No point in buying another.

alright guys, I did the brake cleaner test and I did not find any leak. I also took the spacer and one gasket out leaving only one in but it did not do anything. I also notice that rev only hangs when the car is on motion. When the car is on full stop the throtle response is very good. What do you guys think?

hmm.. Do you still have the stock gasket? Seems like it could be the gasket or something else vacuuming that you didn't notice yet.

No. It ripped when I took the TB out to put the p2r.

Hmm... I'm not sure. Contact P2R and let them know your situation. They might have some ideas or at least ship you new gaskets and you send those back.

no way its normal. It feels like there's an invisible foot stepping on the gas pedal
whenever I want to shift gears.

that's how mine is.... 1st to 2nd gear is painful. 2nd to 3rd gear is okay (except grind) and the 4 ~ 6 are fine.
