Just a little curious do Throttle Body SPacers actually do anything performance wise?

There is no purpose on a fuel injected engine. Don't waste your money.
There are no mpg or performance gains whatsoever.

Yeah it isn't worth it. The most you might get is like one mpg more than what you normally get. And it's a slim chance that you even get that.
