Default TB Bypass question
I saw the write up for the LS1 now on the LT1 its backwards right? Just making sure but it seems I can remove it from the right side of the TB and connect it to the left side and be done. May sound like a stupid question but just making sure lol.

You just take off both lines and connect them together and cap off the ports on the throttle body

you take the long hose going in the right side of the TB and hook it up to the steam pipe. This hose runs to the left top of the radiator as you look into the engine bay

Nope buy nothing and just reuse the spring clamp from the tb or the one on the steam pipe. The pipes are the same exact size.
