After a crazy day today figuring out how my coil pack is broken, mail-man brighten up my day a bit with car parts at least haha.
Here is JBR's throttle body coolant bypass & thermal gasket kit (there's more parts to this pic but you get the idea:
It's a super simple mod to do the coolant bypass part. Just squeeze the clamps to the 2 coolant lines and pull them off and then put each end into the barb fitting and put back the clamps back on and that's it.
Now as far as BAT's go, yeah it's lowered for sure when you're cruising, it's much more stable temperature and it doesn't rise as quickly just doing the bypass part.
I'll be back later updating this post when I do the thermal gasket tomorrow. I have to replace my coil packs, EGR tube delete, replace my bpv hose, and boost leak test so I'd rather do all that at once tomorrow so I don't have to remove anything twice. I welcome Q & A as usual!
