Default TB Coolant Bypass

Okay, I have been using the search function on here to try to find an answer to this, but it's kind of annoying because it pops up everything that has ever said throttle body, or coolant or bypass. Needless to say, that's a lot of threads and posts to read through.

I am just wondering how you go about doing a tb coolant bypass. I have heard it is relatively quick and easy and you can get a few hp out of it, so if anyone could tell me I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks guys.

you don't get any HP out of it. the only advantage you'll get from it is the throttle body will be easier to remove.

It keeps the hot coolant from going around the throttle body so it might be worth a few hp but not much. Heres a link

Obviously cooler temps equal more hp, but I know it won't be very much, but every little bit helps.
