Re: tb bypass question

Please provide the year of your car for proper response. Hose routing is not the same for all years. Did you search?

Re: tb bypass question

I got one of the Ebay kits for $6.99. The picture in there didnt match my TB. When i was putting it on i realized you didnt even need it. I pretty much just unhooked the coolant line from the hardline that runs nex to the valve covers and from the TB and just hooked them together. I did use the screw type clamps for extra holding strength.

Re: tb bypass question

95 on up you dont need a kit just do what ShawnMacAnanny said. If it is pre-95 like a 94 or 93 you need a kit.

Re: tb bypass question

All you need for a 93/94 is a 3/8" barbed hose connector and 2 small worm clamps. Probably less than $2 in a good hardware store.
