Is there any benefit to having the coolant lines by-pass the TB ? I otice mine are like that after I swapped plenums.

Thanks

Curious as well.

 

One of the purposes of heating TB and plate is to avoid PCV and EGR vapors from condensing on the rear and bottom of throttle plate.

At WOT the air is moving so fast thru TB and plenum that there is no time for it to heat up to coolant temperature...............at idle and cruise the few degrees of heating is a good thing.

Measure the temperature inside plenum of air flow not the external housing metal.

 

Benefit is no hot coolant running through your plenum neck; cooler plenum temps.

 

so I should just leave it then
