But because the coolant coming to the TB would be warm, it would cause the air to go hot -- thus reducing power/push whichever terminology anyone uses.

So if we bypass the coolant flow to the tb, the air flowing through wouldn't be as hot.

This is just from what i've read, whether it's wrong or not I dunno. If it's correct -- it's the cheapest mod in the world and it wouldn't hurt to try it if nothing harmful happens.
Thanks bud. If that the case, I understand the purpose of the mod.
It just doesn't make sense the Toyota engineers designed to have the coolant go through the TB only to make it hotter???
So if someone can explain my #1 question:
1. The way stock has it. Coolant goes into and ouf of the TB.
What is the purpose of that designed?
