Throttle Body Bypass Help!!!!! =/

Hey,

You know that hose thats a pain in the *** to get to when you do this mod? The one under the TPS... I have to cover up the open hole with a vaccum cap right? I can't just leave it uncovered? Just making sure

yep just put a cap on it and put something like clear rtv or something around it to make a water-proof, air-tight seal

It's not vital that it's air tight or covered at all. It dosn't go anywhere.

It takes a little heat out of the incoming air. Cooler, denser air can make more horsepower.

The earlier years had a different setup. I beleive 95+ just had to connect the long hose to the steam pipe.

Awesome. Done and Done. Pretty simple... punctured a hose while at it but had enough play in the line to cut up to the leak and re-clamp it.

I felt the crispness in throttle right away

That's because you have a 95, and its not the same as a 93/94.
