so i have not done this mod yet mainly bc i have no clue to what all i would need to order and how to install if some one could help me i would appriciate it much...

Well, this should had been posted in the GS section and could had been found easily through the search function, but I will help you. The bypass is extremely easy. You need a 6/15th's double sided barbed coupler. Disconnect the two coolant lines connected to your tb, then connect them together using the coupler. And it is done. Check autozone for the coupler.

You will probably need to post a wtb thread in the automotive fs/wtb section to find a gt tb. It's simple to install, just take the old on off and bolt the new one on. The hard part is finding one.

Just trying to keep more people from getting the ban-hammer. Most people don't know the rules, so that's why I say that.

easiest way to not piss people off is search...and if you cant find the exact answer...private message....this bit of info will take you far on c4g with out getting your asshole turned inside out.

lol I didn't mean to offend folks. I just know how things work and am surprised to see this board changing for the better. Inform and educate instead of blasting someone to all hell for making a mistake.

Great job mods!

I will say that some of those brutal bashing have produced some helpful members and has caused our niche to grow stronger

Malmby · March 26th, 2012, 12:08 PM

Can anyone confirm the size needed of the barbed coupler? I went to do this the past weekend, and the 5/16 coupler (as How To: Throttle Body Bypass Tutorial stated) is too small. Debating picking up a 3/8" (3/8" Barbed Brass Hose Coupler) and trying it this weekend unless someone could confirm for me.

Thank you.

That needs corrected- it's a 6/15th's That what I used. Fits great. Think he just mistyped it.

Any idea where I may be able to find a 6/15"? Not finding anything online (and I know the local auto shops don't have anything).

jhun35 · March 26th, 2012, 12:34 PM

a friend of mine had actually gave it to me. Let me get ahold of him and find out.

jhun35 · March 26th, 2012, 12:40 PM

He said he had gotten it at autozone. It's actually a hard plastic opposed to a copper like most are.

snakeeyes · March 26th, 2012, 12:43 PM

i think i got mine at the plumbing hardware store.and its brass

jhun35 · March 26th, 2012, 01:19 PM

autozone sells packs of multi sizes of couplers for like $6. Get one of those and just use which ever size fits best.

th3 salvy_516 · March 26th, 2012, 01:27 PM

if anything just get a bigger hose if you cant find the coupler

Malmby · March 26th, 2012, 01:32 PM

Thanks for the help guys. Unable to find the 6/15" anywhere, so I am just going to purchase a handful of different sizes to find one that works.
