throttlebody bypass 
throttlebody bypass
Just go to the auto parts store and buy about a 3 foot long piece of 5/16 fuel line/coolant line and remove all the inbetween stuff...no kit....and just cut to fit....you can put it in in about 20 seconds Like I did
I got my throttle coolant bypass from RKSport ....... you can go and buy the plastic/rubber covers for the bare ends on the TB from any auto parts store but I just left them off ......

Just my opinion but I decided against this mod, due to the fact that this is my daily driver and Texas winters can get a bit cold. Plus with the addition of my ram air mods it makes my setup more prone to sticking IMO. My area of Texas can get pretty cold and wet at certain times of the year. This past winter my throttle blade did stick a couple times upon initial start up, but once the engine was purring she clear right up. But hey, rock em' sock man keep up the sweet mods.

Bypass Hi
I did the bypass this mornig and I am realy happy with the results. I can definatley feel a small gain in performance and for 45 minutes work and a few dollars, that's not too bad at all.
I agree the BMR kit at about 16 bucks is alot more then you need to spend. Especialy if you live in Canada with the exchange, shipping and brokerage fees.
However, be advised that if you just use a 5/16" barb splicer from a hardware store, it is a little short and you will end up putting some stress on the hose to the radiator (passanger side). You realy should have about 3 or 4 extra inches in length. To do this you can either replace the hose on the driver side with a longer one, buy the longer splicer from BMR or RK Sport, or use a piece of 5/16" hard line (et al Car Craft) about 5 or 6 inches long as a splicer. It works just as well.
The small vacuum caps are a great idea as you can use them to plug off the lines and prevent the coolent from running out while you do the work. Also, always make sure you don't spill any coolent on the drive belts. They are right below where you will be doing the work.
