Default Throttle Body Coolant Lines

Are the coolant lines for the throttle body the two lines on the bottom of it? I want to make sure they are before I bypass them.

Why do you want to bypass them? Are you running some mad boost or something. You'd be better of leaving them installed, so the car runs right the other 99.99% of the time when you're not racing.

The coolant lines keep you throttle body at proper operating temperatures in cold climates. However, I live in Florida, so it is essentially always summer time . This coolant is just extra heat going to the throttle body. I did it to my friends TL and he says he noticed the power, I didnt, but his throttle body was touchable after driving hard compared to it being burnable hot before we did it.

Also, my friend has this bypass for at least 4 months [and he drives it like he stole it constantly] and he has not had one engine problem yet.
