Any other benefit on OEM coolant through the throttle body setup?

I think the "horsepower gain" story came from since there isnt hot coolant flowing thru the TB it doesnt heat the IM or the intake air as much so you might gain some hp. Ive seen datalogs of IAT's dropping up to ~10*F just from bypassing the TB coolant, but as for the HP gain ive seen no evidence. Works on the same principle as those IM gasket spacers to keep the head from heating then IM. I doubt it matters on a turbo engine anyways.

i doubt there is an actual change of aits.. more of the im / tb being cooler and heat soaking the sensor..

Nevermind that the stock intake system runs over the exhaust

Basically... Unhook the hoses from the TB. Insert a 3/8" hose connecter into both lines. Tighten one clamp on each hose. And you're done.

Any ?'s ? Just ask.
