I used some small hose pliers and clamped the hoses. Lost just a wee bit of coolant.

I would think that in a turbo application were IAT are always high, The Throttle bypass maybe more effective than NA. What do you think??????

You don't need to burp anything, and the coolant loss is insignificant. Just make sure your engine is cold when you do it! I nearly melted my hands off cause I only let the motor sit for about 45 minutes. Stupid
