don thave any pics but you have a hose goin from your radiator to your tb then you have a hose going from your tb to your drivers side head. simply take the one from the radiator and attach it to your drivers side head, it will reach. just eliminate the one going from the tb to the head

You will gain a dirty throttle body blade, the heat is intended to keep the TB warm so as to not generate oil deposits from the PCV system. I still leave mine disconnected but have to clean the TB once a year for this reason.

hmmm, ive never heard that one before. the pcv will get your throttle body nasty whether its got coolant running through it or not.

the heat is intended to keep the throttle body from freezing open in places where they have extreemly cold climates. there were a few stories of throttle bodies getting stuck open when people first started doing this mod. im sure there will be some more stories this winter.

my tb was nasty as hell before the tb bypass, and honestly the only reason i did it was because it makes removal and replacement of the tb sooo much easier
