basically its a thermal spacer that you fit between the head and the inlet manifold. quite common thing to do on honda's and vw's ive noticed.
the speech with it is as follows.
thermal gasket acts as a barrier, stopping heat transfer from the engine block to the intake manifold. Stopping this heat transfer results in a cooler intake temperature charge. A cooler intake air temperature increases engine power much the same way an intercooler does, however the thermal intake manifold gaskets can benefit both turbo and non-turbo vehicles.
its 2nd hand. all you'd need to fit it are 2 normal inlet gaskets to go either side of it.
if anyone wants a picture i will get one a bit later on.
