TB bypass

Has anyone else just clamped the rubber inlet hose directly to the hardline that runs along the pass. side of the intake. I just noticed this was possible a couple of weeks ago while changing my waterpump "again". I had originally had the hose clamped to a small metal pipe under the TB.

Me too. There's no sense in buying or making a kit to join the two ends when you can just put them directly together....

You can only do that on a 1995-1997. Pre 1995 are different and you must use a connector to join the hoses.

yep, this is how you do it on your 95. just put two 3/8 inch vacuum caps on the TB holes and bleed the lines and your ready to go.

You will not win the lottery...especially if you don't buy a ticket.
