!air, !egr, and tb bypass?
!air, !egr, and tb bypass? i've been looking into !air, !egr, and doing the tb bypass to my camaro. i'm just wondering what benefits there are to doing this and if there are any bad symtoms from performing these mods. someone who's done these let me know how it worked for them...thanks
The first two are done to get the extra hoses and crap out of the engine bay and clean it up a bit. If you get rid of them, make sure you get the codes turned off so you don't get the SES light. I've yet to see anyone prove any gains through the TB bypass (some speculate 1hp as a very liberal/high guess) but go for it if you want to.

just do it cuz ur bored. thats what i did, i was like what the hell i ain't got nothing better to do.
pretty much just unbolt the air and egr hoses from the exhaust manifolds and cap them off. with the tb bypass you just pull to hoses off the tb and hook them up to each other.

i never really noticed any direct gains, but every little bit helps, right?
http://www.installuniversity.com/ins...sity/index.htm - has a write up on the TB
EGR and AIR are pretty self explainitory, buy the block off plates and manifold plug, i picked mine up from Speed Inc.
just unhook the EGR/AIR from the exhaust and use the block offs there, pull the EGR from the intake and use the plug there, and then just disconnect and unbolt the remaining components

Thanks
i notice that the egr sits right in the middle of the tb. is this restricting airflow at all? also, when the egr recycles the exhaust into the intake, what kind of effect is that having in the combustion camber. seems like burning just clean air would be better.
gonna try and answer my own question here since i will be making these at work tomorrow....
im guessin quarter inch (.25") would be the max
1/8" would be the bare min.
so im assuming some 3/16' (.1875") stock would be just rite
