how the hell do i bypass the FITV??

anyone? im dying here! i need some help!

Yout take it off and block where it used to be with a custom plate or gasket. An instructions sheet comes with the hondata heat shield gasket.

I will look for my sheet and see if I can scan it but I think I may have thrown it away.

while your at hondata be sure to check out this awesome drag run video.
