throttle body is the thing thats bolts to the front of your intake and allows air into the motor. you need a 52mm or a 58 if your planing on doing future motor mods. BBK is the most popular brand. You can also port your stock one and get a airfoil for it. The bypass is just making the coolant run around it rather than through the t-body, running through it causes more intake heat and a loss of power

Save the money because you really don't need the MAF. You'd be better off spending the money elsewhere. Your stock maf will do everything you need it to.

I have had really good luck and gains with aftermarket MAF. I will get one for the new car just like I have in the past. They are pricy but in the end everything put together including the MAF as a total package will yeild the most power. Stock is not only too small it also is aluminum that heats up alot and the aftemarket ones send better signals to the computer for the intake readings. = more HP. Every HP you can get is worth the cash to me.
