it's really expensive to do a tb bypass, cost me $0. Starting from the right side of the tb, un hook the line. on the left of the tb, unhook the lines from the tb. Then take the tube from the right side and hook it up on the left side...bam!! Ya done and no parts needed.

Well, I like the little BMR KIT. And yes it did come in a nice little KIT. Included in the KIT was a little metal shunt to put between the rubber hoses to prevent drips, a couple of nice shiny hose clamps, and some nice plastic caps for the TB, even though you don't need them, they look nice if you value the looks of your engine like it is Miss April. Plus a little instruction booklet. The KIT took all of 10 minutes to install, I love it, it looks pro, and I get to add an extra line to my mods . Oh, and the little tube of KY was free with the KIT. It would have taken me a while to find all those nice little parts, and for just $15 the KIT was worth it. IMHO, of course.

Man, folks on here are just not content to let people to have a different opinion! Figuring my time and wandering around in Sears Hardware and it was well worth it.

I didn't have to buy any extra parts for the bypass. Just using the same clamps, I was able to do the by pass

That the point. You didn't need those lil parts. If you want a clean engine bay, try one without a spliced in connector with hose clamps everywhere

But, I guess I would rather someone spend $15 on this that drugs or something...

I meant the rubber 'vacuum caps', [not a kit..]
I find the rubber caps dry and crack and fall off..
And no, they really aren't needed...
Also, 93-4 need the 3/8" 'coupling', but 95-7 do not..
I upgraded my 94 hoses to 95^ configuration so I don't need it either..

sorry for the stupid question but i want the hose coming from the left side of my radiator to be attached to the stem on the right side of my intake elbow (drivers side)

or should it plug into the stem on the pass side or the car??

You sound way messed up. It should look like this when you are done.

BTW, left side is driver's side and right is passenger. L and R are always from the driver's perspective.
