    I would bypass the tb and run it to the port just under the radiator cap, basically to the radiator tank.

    so basically tee into the radiator overflow tube? that would make things really simple

    overflow is on top of the cap right? it's there to catch excess fluid when pressure is build up, not sure about routing it that way.
    i'm confused, lol,

    hmmm so do you not advise that? there isnt a constant flow of coolant through that tube is there? i dont see why it wouldnt work that way unless it drains my coolant system to my coolant res. that wouldnt be good.

    If you look at the radiator on the pass. side, right in the middle should be like a half inch diameter small fitting that is already attatched to the radiator. That is where the coolant tubes from the bottom of the throttle body go to. If you dont have that small fitting, then dont worry about it, just put small end caps on the throttle body. If you dont have small end caps, then dont worry about it. You really dont have to have radiator fluid passing through the TB at all. I think its only for extreme cold conditions?

    I was thinking you were asking a different question.
