    bypassed EFI throttle body coolant flow

    well i just bypassed EFI throttle body coolant flow with a hose that basically just skips it all in order to keep the throttle body a bit cooler. i think it is a good idea? other than it wont be warm in the winter

    hell yeah, its definetly a good idea i would say, i can feel a noticable difference in preformance as well as the throttle body is MUCH COOLER! (i can touch it after driving for awhile)
