Would a intake/throttle body spacer be worth 73.00?

Hey everything, again sorry my retardedness in these subjects. But I found a intake/throttle body spacer for my 02 P5 for 73.00 on ebay. And I was wondering if it would be worth the money? Would it increase HP and if so, how much? Heres the link, so let me know if it would be worth it.

Thanks for the help.

it's not worth it to me. Show me a before and after dyno that makes more then 3whp and I'd say it MIGHT be worth the price but probably not the labor involved.

that looks like a fake dyno to me. I highly doubt it. Has anyone used them on this engine before?

I bought the kit and had a lot of trouble attempting to install it. I am not 'rod P ', but not unskilled either...

My problems centered on:
Accessing the bottom intake bolts. Knowing what i know NOW - i would take the intake off in two stages and do the VICS screw check at the same time.

Getting the Frazzledazzle EGR line (other threads since show how to get it).

Lastly, rigging ther throttle cable for the new physical postion on the throttle body. Still have NO Clue how to do that...

So all i ended up with was the hot water blocked off to the throttle body.

sigh.
