so today i went out to my car to leave for class, and I noticed its very hard to get into reverse like something was blocking it. Sure enough I had my roomate sit in the car and try to put it in reverse and the TB coolant hose i believe (or the one that runs to the CAI cant remember now) was in the way. the TBS and gaskets pushed it back far enough to where it was hindering 6thgear and reverse. What to do. Also my intake manifold is still scorching hot even with the TBS and gaskets is this normal? do I need to do the TB coolant bypass?!?!


thanks,
J

Its pretty much pointless having the thermal gasket if you don't do the bypass.

Nope 3/16 wont cut it. Use 5/16 fuel hose. Same size as the hoses you will be removing. Make sure you have a few spare 5/16 vacuum caps because you will need to temporarily plug up the origin of the re route otherwise you will lose 2 gallons of coolant like i did and make a big mess. Takes like 20 minutes and you dont have to take your air intake out like the DIY says. Itd be easier but not necessary. I dont have the gaskets, but with the coolant not circulating I can run my car hard for 1/2 an hour and my throttle body is luke warm at most. Manifold is significantly cooler as well.

BTW you only need 18 inches of the 5/16 hose. Any more would just clutter your bay.

I already posted a thread about the shifting problems of users with CAI and P2R crap, look for it.

I just went for an easier bypass by just getting a 5/16 connector and disconnected the hoses from the throttle body and then used the connector to connect the two hoses.

you need the manifold gasket. if you dont want it to get hot. the tb gaskets keep the tb cool and spacer cool.

i bet it was that intake hose and nothing to do with the TBS or TBG.
it's happenned to others even before the TBS + TBG were made/released/installed.
