Default TB Bypass

how does the tb bypass even give you more power, just by not allowing the tb not to get hotter, and therefore the incoming air is cooler? do u just get a small tube and bypass the coolent lines from the tb. and why would the factory run coolent through the tb what is the purpose of that, is it supposed to be there for a reason? and when people talk about porting the tb are they just match porting it to the intake manifold?

the Bypass is for the guys that live up north where it gets pretty cold.
if you live in the south or where it doesnt freeze much you really dont need it.
there's not really anything gained, but the satisfaction that you have takin hot fluid from running through your throttle body and heatng the throttle body up to high temps, when in fact it doesnt have to.
and its basicall like you stated, just take the 2 hoses off the throttle body, and connect them together
here is some info on a couple of others
