Throttle Body Spacer
I just installed a Poweraid TBS in my '03 4.0L 4Runner and have noticed at least a 3mpg increase, as the computer says. I have a K&N FIPK so the install only took 20 minutes. Its a quick and easy tip for anyone who wants better performance.

Seriously, Dihoward, if you're stoked with your results, then cool... It's just that the TBS doesn't carry a high reputation with the Toyota crowd. I'm sure it works with the high HP American engines, but there have been no substantially proven results for us import guys....

I know that when I put my TBS on when I first got my Taco, I also cleaned the TB, which may have accounted for a little bit of the "seat of the pants" feel I got. I really don't think that it did anything. Now, when I did the deckplate and ISR, THAT'S when things started noticably changing! So, my official opinion, is the money you spend for the TBS is just not worth it. I can up my mpg just by staying out of the throttle (which is hard to do because I like the "VRRROOOOMMM" of the deckplate...) 
Just my 2c.
