no prob, in my post i did say that "he said" kind of as a disclaimer so people could tell that it was one guys opinion and not a proven fact or anything cause i feel the same way as you about false info that gets tossed around
im just assuming he looked at it and saw that the inside diameter was smaller than the ID of the pipe it was being connected to which makes sense if it slides into the pipe. so if its going from a bigger ID (stock charge pipe) to a smaller one (spacer) before it gets to the engine then it seems like the flow would be restricted. either way, extending the charge pipe like that thing does isnt going to do anything, think about it this way, the turbo controls how much air goes into the engine, more boost means more air going in so if it doesnt increase the boost then you wont see any power increase.
