DIY: [Throttle Body Coolant Bypass] - Page 5

filmshoot · 08-21-08, 03:22 AM

I gave up on this mod.

I have TCS and it sux. I got 3 out of 4 screws off that hold the TB. But, there is a screw on the passenger side of the Throttle body on the bottom corner that is IMPOSSIBLE to get to. it looks like it would require a lot of taking other isht off to get to it, so I gave up.....for 1HP gain that you can't even feel or won't notice, it just wasn't worth it for me.

Pretty sure I did mine right, but anyone have better pix... kinda hard to tell in those

These pictures aren't the best, I left my camera in my friends car this weekend so I used my phone

that's also a tight space to take a picture in

Does that help? Let me know, I can stick them in paint and write on them if you need me to.

Thanks for the pix again, that does help but it still a little hard to see where they connect on the bottom- even on the DIY pic someone put up, that's where I mainly want to look at... where the bottom hoses come from...
