Coolant bypass mod

Hey guys, I had a friend help me do the coolant bypass mod. I seem to be losing about 2 mpg, so I decided to change the mod back to stock. Well, he removed both hoses and cut one to fit before I could see where each one went. Does anyone have a pic of where the hoses go in a stock config? IF I mixed up the two lines, would it hurt anything?
Thanks in advance.

did you re-set the car (disconnecting the battery for a bit) before you decided that you were loosing mpg? you may want to do that and drive for a few days before you decide.

if you did, then i will try to look for some pics...

i did it and did a long trip- about 600 miles or so and was doing 400 plus miles a tank. Pretty freakin good if you ask me... and besides that why are u doing performance mods if you are looking to save gas . Those two things dont go together at all.

I saw report of people saying that mpg increased, decreased and stayed the same, so I thought I'd give it a try. I ran it for about a week and saw my mpg dip down to 17 around town/hwy. After just filling up at $4.20 for 91, I decided I need all the help I can get. And hey Bukva, it's Memorial Day--stop bustin' a vets balls! LOL How bout those pics blkaspec???

Doing intake and exhaust improved my mileage

so i am a few hours late, sorry! i had golf and then we went to the bar.

anywho, so, it is kinda hard to get a great pic, but this is the best i could do. i added some cool colored lines and circles that will hopefully help you out.



but basically, the input/output on the right side of the TB, goes to the engine input/output that is pointing straight up. And the TB input/output that is more on the underside and pointing towards the rear of the vehicle, goes to the engine input/output that is horizontal in nature and right behind the vertical one.

Yeah, I had it right. Thank you for taking the time to put the pic up. I really appreciate it.
If I can help you out in the future, just let me know. (need any discount electronics???)
