tb bypass?

[zooguy]

why do people do this and what does it do?:noob:

[mrbadlt1]

people do it so they can get a couple of ponys from an easy mod, it keeps the incoming air from being heated up before the combustion process

[zooguy]

oh ... any down sides to doing it ..... and how is it done?

[devonsZ28]

Wouldn't a downside be if you live in a state where it freezes, your throttle body blades could freeze... Isn't that whats its there for anyways...

CORRECT^^^ not nec freezing the TB blades, but yes for COLD weather....

[BLK95-Z]

the coolant going through the throttle body helps warm the engine faster....right?

nec....I think it stands for necessary?
