...maybe I'll give the tb bypass a shot just for poops and giggles....I remember talking to creederado who lives in upstate NY, and he never had issues (gets much colder where he's at!!)

I have bypassed my throttlebody and have not notice any problems. The only thing I have notice is the throttle does not stick anymore, and I have not cleaned it.

one hose is 5/16 and the other is 1/4.
i used a 5/16 barb, and reinstalled the factory spring clamps.
