TB Bypass

Hello. I was wondering if anyone had done a TB bypass on their first gen RL. I was thinking of doing it as people have noticed a few more ponies. If anyone knows the fitting sizes for the elbow. Thanks!

a TB bypass is a throttle body bypass. What happens is your coolant flows around your throttle body to keep it from getting sticky in sub freezing temperatures. Now when the temperature is warm, there really is no need for that. It ends up heating up the air going through your throttle body, creating a less dense charge of air. You can re-route the coolant lines to bypass it so it does not flow through the throttle body. Ive found DIY for this mod on Legends, which have almost the same engine as ours, a 3.2 i believe but i cant find one for the RL. I might do it this weekend as i was experimenting today and i think i have it almost all figured out.
