Hello, I did a search and nothing came up. Has anybody tried blocking the coolant hose that goes to the throttle body?

 

get some hose and an extension and just bypass it. did it on my gd3... its pointless in FL

 

im sorry...newb question. what's the purpose to this (bypassing coolant to throttle body)?

 

Coolant running through the throttle body is there to keep the throttle body from icing up in very cold weather. If it doesn't get below freezing where you drive then it's pointless, as it just heats up the incoming air. Cooler air = denser air. More air in means more performance.

 

thanks for the clarification.
will do this when i install my intake. ...when i do get my intake.

 

actually someone HAS done it, i forget his SN on here, but his name is Bob, he showed everyone during a meet how it was done, Blue Sensation GE sport auto
