TB Bypass So I did the TB bypass today, total I think I have under 10 bucks in it. I couldn't get the the hose off the TB that is way back there. So I pulled the line off the front of the TB and disconnected the end of the second line where it goes into the T-fitting and plugged it. From there I got a fitting and some more hose and connected the front hose to the t fitting? I got all the coolent out of TB and then plugged that one line.
I mean I can't feel an difference. I guess it is helping. Is this how any one else did it?

You won't feel a difference, it is small, but every little bit helps. I took the one off of the Radiator and connected it direcly to that metal line on the passengers side. Costed nothing. This is a pic of my current setup, it goes directly to the Radiator.

Cool deal. When I went for a drive, it was around 5 in the middle of Charlotte. So I did alot of sitting and the motor definitly got heat soaked, and it still had plenty to get through traffic. I still need to get a some tuning issues resolved and and dyno the car again. I never got a good pull out of it when I dyno'ed with the car group.

Ok, a bit more driving on it, and replacing the hose with something that is a bit stronger and wow what a difference. The roll on power has a bit of an increase, that and it doesn't matter how long I sit in the traffic, the intake is always cool. It is amazing how much that coolant heated up the TB, elboe and manifold. I am happy with less than 10 bucks in it.

I always wonder why people capped off the openings on the throttle body after do the mod? Corrision issues with the TB?? I just left them uncapped and sticking out. I think someone posted awhile back that you can just yank the two metal tubes out.

Man I dont think I could mine off. I wanted to leave it so if I ever needed to hook it back up, I could. I just got some plugs and did mine. The reason for pluging it are to prevent anything from getting in there. Just a general thing..

I've had my car for about a month now and I bought it modded already. It has the TB bypass, but I was wondering for winters in the midwest if I would see any problems? Obviously I'd prefer to just leave it bypassed all the time for the extra power gain.
