Coolant coupler...

I need to bypass the coolant in the airbox, what coupler do I need? Size and where to buy from?
Thanks
Nick

You don't need any coupler. The coolant runs from the engine, to the air box and back to a spot under the throttle body (I think, it's been a while since I did this.) Simply use one of the hoses you remove to connect these 2 points.

Is there a picture with some arrows someone has by chance?
I have not done much work with imports in general.

why would you want to bypass it ? I am getting an icebox and am curious if you hook it up according to the instructions, or do you bypass it ?

What? The Icebox replaces the stock air box which contains the mini-radiator. You have to bypass it.

The easiest thing to do is get a flashlight and trace the coolant lines that go to and from the stock airbox. It's a lot easier than you think.

Instructions here indicate that you replace existing line with supplied one, so I am not sure what you mean ?? Just want to make sure I understand it before Itake anything apart.

Yes, there was a piece of hose that came with the Icebox.

I tried reading the instructions, had similar questions, it all made sense once I removed the battery cover and looked at how the lines go in and out of the stock airbox.

Not sure if you mean to bypass the throttle body, but check this out to see if this helps.

The green line is highlighting the hose routing where it loops back.
