This only applies if you have the no AFM but i was just curious what you guys are doing with the cold start breather thing on the throttle body? Routing it back in? Blocking it? Car seems to run like **** with it wide open, but dies when i block it with me thumb. My begi pipes had a bung for it, these dont, so im wondering what option i have here? Here's a pic for reference incase im describing it wrong. Also im not running any water to my tb.

That's not cold start, that's your idle bypass line, so you can get air when the throttle is closed so your engine will idle. Your car is dying because your thumb is blocking all air to the engine. Also it's running like crap cause it's not the same temperature as what your AIT sensor is reading, as you can see from the picture.

It will leak, but I can't imagine a very large volume of air getting out.
I want to know why it "seems to run like **** with it wide open." With a Megasquirt, it shouldn't care.
