There was a step but I dont remember it being a bypass. and I check my TB last night and coolant still runs in and out of TB. Ill be doing this mod tonight

I am wondering now if my car is still having pinging issues when the temp gets over 80 do I want the IAT sensor to be located in the IM for higher readings or in the relocation spot on the CAI ????
You disconnect the throttle body hose completely. Re-route the coolant hose back to the engine.

yeah im going to get this done right now
, i need some more ideas to reduce air temp, and no i dont want to put insolation around CAI.its over 80 degrees and getting humid in FL and my car is pinging again even with the mods. I am thinking that I will just not drive hard at all until 70 degree temps again. Its a shame. Chevron with Techron seems to help too as I am pining more with V-power then I was using Chevron for the past month.
I will try all the little things first and then after some time passes I will just have to get engine managment or get rid of the cars in a year but will most likely go with the latter.

AEM just reroutes the coolant back into the TB, I just did this mod tonight.
