how many of you guys run the coolant bypass mod on your boosted cars?

 

What is the "coolant bypass mod"?

 

Most likely talking about when you bypass the coolant line from the throttle body. People say they usually gain HP on a NA car with that mod. It is used to heat the air to aid in cold start up comditions if I understand correctly.

what about on FI set ups? would it help?

 

I don't have coolant going to the FITV or the IACV and it is fine. I didn't notice any difference in how the car runs even in freezing cold weather.

 

I used to do that back in the day w/ DSM stuff
who knows what kind of Gains it makes.

After a Long Drive you can Grab the inake manifold and it stays pretty cool.

 

 

I bypassed the coolant line going through my TB and IACV and everything works great.. Only thing I noticed is if your spraying your car and you let off the TB after spraying it will stick shut a little..
