all it is is a tb coolant bypass.. i doubt it gets that kind of power though lol

I could see it working but then your fast idle valve wouldn't work properly. Thus probably resulting in high idle all the time!

i think its just like those 'power chips' on eBay, it tricks your IAT into running richer (or maybe it was leaner, i don't remember...)

yeah thats where I was leaning... hmm I know it wouldnt make near those gains... but makes me wonder if t does anything.... even good?

word. I think it would make your idle kinda screwy, like (sometimes) when you use the TB water line as a feed for the turbo...

The concept of bypassing coolant away from the TB is to reduce airtemp. The ammount of power lost from having hotwater in your TB is like .000000003hp...If that....

You can get all the crap you need at an autoparts store for $8 and DIY. Or take that $15 and get a fat bag :TU:
