Red face Trying to figure out if I have TB bypassed or not

I think my car looks like this , but im not 100% sure. Actually I cant find anything besides the hose that runs from the radiator which connects into the tubing that runs along the intake towards the back of the engine. (does that mean its bypassed???)

If anyone can tell from these pics that would be great.

I wish I had better pictures, but cant get any due to the fact the computer the camera connects to isnt working at the time.

If I dont have the bypass... where are these other connectors? Which side is left and right as in which perspective are you supposed to be taking?

I feel like an idiot right now... please rub it in

Remove the alternator and then take the pictures. Also look at your TB. Do you have a connection missing on both sides of it?

in the second picture it looks like you have the right hose going to the steam pipe looks like you did it right but hes right take a pic with the altnator braket off and you should have two diffrent nipples un-capped

cant take anymore pictures, do to technical difficulties... I know those pics suck, but im trying to work with what I got.

I looked at it again... on the drivers side of the TB under the intake elbow I found a capped connection... as if someone did the mod... however I see no such connection on the other side. The hose from the radiator is running back to a connection on the passenger side next to the intake.

yea the feed line will be pointing down on the passanger side of the throttle body. Hard to get to without pulling the TB. Looks like you got one mod done already
