I just finished mine today and I don't know if it's just me, but my car feels a tad bit pep-per mostly after sprinted runs. I going to do the IMG install tomorrow.

I feel after you have been on highway a while slow down a bit or come to a brief light and get on it it feels a bit more responsive...

AXIS · 06-15-2007, 01:00 AM

so this is mod is safe for extreme temps 100+

Zeuceone · 06-15-2007, 01:06 AM

yes. real cold temps it would not be a good idea to do.

RANGERSi07 · 06-17-2007, 01:15 PM

Gonna go buy parts and do this.

Raging · 06-17-2007, 02:52 PM

You don't need any parts for this. All I did was simply use the hoses that was already on them and redirected them.

nice easy mod but what does that tb gasket do?

makes a good seal to prevent air leakage

abs0lutexer0 · 06-20-2007, 02:03 AM

I've had mine bypassed for almost 2 months and everything still runs smooth. No problems yet. *knock on wood*

chiguywithsi · 06-20-2007, 10:36 PM

The TB gasket just prevents heat absorption from the intake manifold to the TB in the hope to lower intake air temps. Same thing as a after market IMG.

It looks kind of easy, but Is this a safe mod to do?

And what do I have to buy?: The caps and a extra hose, right?

i think its safe to do, people with all diff makes of cars have been doing this for years. i think you just need the caps i read that some people just used the stock hose.

jameslewis178 · 07-01-2007, 02:12 AM

ok so you just cap off the throttlebody holes and take the hose from the beginning of the first one to the end of the second hose? is this right?

jameslewis178 · 07-01-2007, 02:14 AM

also what is the smaller hole in the gasket used for? (not the bolt/stud holes either)

jameslewis178 · 07-01-2007, 02:15 AM

or instead of caps you could just cut a line and connect it from to both on the throttlebody right?
