Stock, the coolant passing through the TB helps helps keep it from freezing in extreme temps.
Since most of us do not drive our cars in -32 weather, bypassing it frees up a few HP
but not heating up the TB (and thus not heating up incomming air)

It's simple, cheap and reversable.


FWIW, I drove my 95 in -40 weather while I was in Canada with the bypass mod.
No problems at all.

I just did the TB Bypass last weekend. It's so easy, I can't believe I didn't do it sooner. I had to cut my hoses ends off, they were stuck on there good. The performance increase is very very subtle, but hey, it's free!

Every 10* change in air temp is one hp if I'm not mistaken..
