nope does not cause problems and I will copy and paste my standard PM reply
I get his question a few times a month ie a lot so this is a cut and paste if you have questions feel free to ask and Yes I like it and I think it is worth the cash. You will probably be most interested in redknights thread.
Fisrt off you need one from a toyota tachoma more to come from that. Second you need new screws I will be happy so send you a set of screws and washers for 10 bucks shipped. You should get it from www.hubcapsplus.com for best price about 80 bucks shipped read below.
OK here are some old threads

OK I got it in. The Home Depot did not have 65mm m8X 1.25 bolts just 70 and 60, so in a lapse of good judgment I got 60mm The fit on the top 2 holes no washer. I will be getting 70 mm eventually. 60 mm does NOT fit the bottom 2 holes. I used the 90 mm that came with it and 2 washers each from the kit; I will probably try 70 mm later on. Other than that install was easy.
How did it feel well it is hot out today so I cannot wait for evening to really have fun but I do feel like midrange has had a nice improvement and I would recommend it as a cheap mod for other people. Second gear feels a lot nicer and the powerband feels smoother. I will try to get pictures soon.
****** Update
On the top use m8 X 1.25 70mm long and on the bottom use 2 of the 90 mm long that came with the kit and 2 washers under each 90 and 1 under each 70mm. You will need to also buy 2 m8 washers for the top sense the kit only comes with 4.

How does it work with the bored out throttle body Midias? Have you tried takin the TB spacer off to see if there is a difference with just ur bored out tb and cp-e? Been thinking about gettin a TB spacer too, thanks for the website, couldn't find it.
