DIY Throttle Body Bypass

[intel0116]

well my MPG has stayed the same as far as i can tell, and i think as far as atomizeing the gas goes we should be fine if the temps are over 45 right ? because i havent noticed any probs with it yet, i do feal better TB responce, but then again its been in the upper 70s and low 80s here in pasadena latly...... i know alot of people say 32 , but that was to keep the TB from freezing and locking up

i'll have to try this come late spring, sounds promising

lol, maybe because I shift at 3k RPMS.

no change in mpg here yet. temps in cali usually 40's at night time.

There is noticeable increase in throttle response. Ifyou have a CAI there should be a big noticeable increase in power.

hmmm.. so i went to do this the other day (i4) and really couldnt get the hose disconnected off of the housing, what have any of you guys in this situation done cause i really dont wanna cut the hose at the tip? i pulled, wisted, etc.

caution to all, im not 100% shure that this mod is to blame, but 1 week after doing it, i had to undo it and disassemble my TB and clean it out, it got cloged to hell , car would shut off over and over again rpms would go to 0 unless i pushed the gas, could not idle, and all this with in 6 days of installing/driving with the mod. again , i dont know that this mod is to blame, but ever since i reversed it my cars been fine, so i dont think ill be doing it again. i have a fealing that by coolent runing through it, that it prevents gunk build up in the TB because of the heat, idk tho just a noobie theory, has anyone else had this issue with the V6 ?

Get a pair of needle nose pliers and twist from the top of the hose left and right and wiggle it down. That should break it loose.

interesting. are you sure you did this mod correctly and it did not ever happen before and only after?
