Ebay rip offs

hahah... I just crack up every time I see some bogus attempt to rip off someone. Here's the latest:

HAVE YOU SEEN THE TRD SUPRA OR THE GREDDY FLAGSHIP TT? THEY BOTH HAVE ONE THING IN COMMON...A MODIFIED THOTTLE BODY. AUCTION IS FOR THE PARTS AND INSTRUCTIONS TO INSTALL THIS MOD THE WAY THE ENGINEERS DO.
I KNOW THAT YOU ARE THINKING, $25 DOLLARS(THE SHIPPED PRICE!) IS A LITTLE STEEP FOR SOMETHING YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE A PICTURE OF (I CAN'T SHOW IT OVER THE NET UNTILL THE PATENT REGISTERS), SO I PERSONALLY GAURANTEE THIS MOD WILL LOWER YOUR INTAKE TEMP!!! THE IDEA BEHIND IT IS SIMPLE, COOLER AIR MEANS MORE HORSEPOWER!!!

1.THIS IS NOT SOME BOGUS CHIP!!! IT DOES NOT PLAY TRICKS ON YOUR ECU!!! 2.IT IS AN ACTUAL PART YOU CAN INSTALL!!! 3.IT WILL NOT HURT YOU CAR OR CHANGE YOUR EMISSIONS!!! 4.TRY IT OR GET LEFT OUT!!! 5.MOST OF THE FASTEST STREET RACERS IN SOUTH FLORIDA ALL READY RUN THIS MOD, IT IS THAT GOOD!!! 6. WE GOT 5HP OUT OF A "DX" IMAGINE THE GAINS YOU COULD SEE *NEW* I HAVE KITS FOR ALL YEARS OF THE SUPRA!!!!!!

HURRY WE ARE RUNNING OUT!!!



HAHAHAH.....$25 for someone to tell you the TB coolant bypass mod!

Ok...

At the risk of sounding stupid, what is the "throttle body coolant bypass mod"? I mean, what is its purpose and how is it done? What is the real benefit?

I know my car pretty well, and I thought I knew most of the little tricks we all do - but this one is new to me.
Jamie,

Thanks for the tip. I know about the two coolant lines you're speaking of, I just never thought of the benefit to cool the intake charge by bypassing how it's routed through the TB. I'll have to try that.

It would be interesting to see what happens at Smog check time, if it has any ill effects at all.

Thank you ma'am ;)
