Tinted! Adds an extra 4 hp just for being tinted right there! LOL But seriously there are claims on the market of the part adding as much as 3 or 4 horse on an FS 2.0L. Whether or not that is true, I don't know or really care that much. I know it is beneficial from a standpoint that it helps reduce manifold and TB temperatures and thus keeps the intake charge that much cooler which is beneficial against detonation and also for better performance from a denser intake charge.It's a totally free mod if you take time to look at the TB. It's kind of hard to get to, but I removed the bottom hose altogether and just looped the top hose to where the bottom one recirculated back to the upper coolant hose. (yippy) TB bypassed absolutely free and in 30 minutes (yippy) now that I've got the IC water sprayer, I've looped hoses from the pump through the TB and back to the reservoir so I can circulate cold water through the TB.mspeed101 said:
We have not done the TB side of it yet. Both kits will fit FAR better than the outlaw kit, and will match or be better as far as keeping the IM cooler. Anybody that buys the intake manifold will get a discount on the TB when it comes out later. So you don't need to worry about "waiting" to get them together. We will be looking into the coolant bypass for you guys of course, and the kit will include it assuming the modification is simple and reasonable (which I believe it is!mspeed101 said:
) Not to mention we are cheaper!!! and all about mazda.I take it that you capped the open nipples for the coolant lines with vacuum end caps once you removed the coolant lines to the TB. And that the lower one has a small leak? Just trying to see if I follow what you are saying.MSP Chris said:
