Intake Manifold Thermal Gasket.
Otter, if this is the wrong section for a group buy please move.
I have spoken with "GT Fabrications" out in California on making thermal gaskets for our intake manifold (4G69). They currently sell the throttle body gasket for the 4G Eclipse, and that also fits our motor, so that's taken care of.
I'm looking into having these done and I'm talking about it with people over on Club4G, as well.

I would be very interested in both of these gaskets. Questions are what are they made of? And is it a hole replacement gasket? Or just a thermo spacer?
Pictures?
and thanks
Edit** is there a website or link i can check out the throttle body gasket? that'll tell me what the manifold gasket will look like and made of.

Usually when this mod is done, the throttle body gasket is doen as well.
These gaskets serve two purposes.
1. Keeps the intake manifold cool by preventing heat from transferring to it via the throttle body and the engine block.
2. By keeping the IM cool, the air going though it remains cools, thus producing more power as it enters the engine block.
The IM is the last place entering air can have it's temperature changed drastically, so if you can keep it cool you're looking at about 3-8% increase in power.
