    Yep I have seen something similar.

    Its a teflon gasket . I had a thread going a litle while ago in regards to sealing my inlet manifold with the amount of boost i run and came across this.

    I would think the manifold spacer that a 20v has standard would make a pretty good insulator.

    as Sam says, the spacer that the 20V has stock is a phenolic spacer, it just has metal layers on the outside of it. Also the 20V's inlet track isn't that big, and from memory the throttles don't get very hot from during operation. I think the gains would be nil to minimal at best with a Normally aspirated 20V.

    I made one a few years back for my 16V, and actually used it to replace the T-VIS plate (so it was about 1" thick). I never did any dyno testing before & after, but I know it resulted in my intake manifold being stone cold after a good thrashing, whereas beforehand it would be too hot to touch.
    Now that my engine is turbocharged the manifold isn't as noticably cold, but I still imagine it would help. Plus the main reason for mine was just to get rid of the T-VIS.
