Default throttle body bypass

has anybody done a throttle boby bypass or are there kits for it. i know its a simple thing to do but i've never done it and dont know the needed equipment. im assuming some sort of fitting to connect the 2 lines and a couple hose clamps, but i wanted to make sure.

If you're talking about the little water hoses, just buy a length of hose and make longer hoses to reroute around it.

There is a temperature controlled air valve in most of these throttle bodies. Without the heat from the coolant, the engine may continue to idle fast even though it is warmed up.
